radiator covers

does anyone know where i can get a set of plans to build radiator covers out of wood? i am ready to re-paint a couple of rooms in a very old house that i rent that has ugly radiators. these have bugged me since i moved in and i can't afford to buy metal fabricated ones. i need simple because, i have no workshop. i bought some grating for the front, now i need some plans. any help would be appreciated!! thanks in advance; Don

deepur, welcome to the forum, glad to have you here

I have heard that it depends on the kind of wood you use.

Do you have anything in mind already?

thanks for the welcome! no i really don't have any idea where to start. i thought of some kind of formica covered wood but, i checked it out and it looks like it would turn out to be pretty expensive do make 4 of them. i'm open to all suggestions. thanks for the response; Don

Deeput, to tell you the truth I haven't seen any woodcastings for radiators yet other then iron-coated. Are you sure formica is resistant enough against the heat of radiators ?

We fabricate custom radiator covers for any heat source, have honest, quality service and fair prices. We offer a lot of options for our radiator enclosures and will build your cover exactly the way you want it. We also fabricate radiator covers with dampening systems to control heat in spaces without zoned heating. You can find out more at http://www.jayscustomcovers.com
