      <![CDATA[<p><a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-shelves" title="Radiator Shelves" target="_blank"><strong>Radiator Shelves </strong></a>are the ideal finishing touch to enhance the appearance of your radiator, whether paired with any of our <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-covers" title="Modern Panel Radiator Covers" target="_blank"><strong>Radiator Covers </strong></a>or used independently. These shelves not only add a stylish dimension but also provide extra space to display decorative items, plants, or household essentials, books, etc., boosting both aesthetics and functionality. Crafted with precision, they seamlessly blend with your existing décor, transforming your radiator area into a charming and practical feature in your home. Elevate your living space effortlessly by choosing Radiator Shelves to complete your radiator’s look with elegance and purpose.<br></p>
<p>But that is not all. Placing a shelf above the Radiator is also known to redirect heat into the room, improving heating efficiency. Fitted 5 to 8cm above the radiator shelves are known to direct heat that would normally be drawn towards the ceiling back into the room, boosting your heating efficiency. </p>
<p>So here are the <strong>6 reasons </strong>why you should add these Radiator Shelves </p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Radiator_Top_Sheves_Windowsill_6_reasons_why_you_should_add_these_above_your_radiators_at_your_home_-1_Improve_heating_efficiency.jpg?v=1759322144" alt=""></p>

<p><strong>1. Improve heating efficiency:</strong> A well-placed radiator shelf can help redirect heat from the radiator. The shelf provides a break in the natural process of convected heat going upwards, rather than redirecting it into the room. This is particularly important under windows, directing it into the room instead of letting it escape upwards. </p>

<p><strong>2. Protection: </strong>The Radiator shelf acts as an effective buffer between your radiator and nearby items like curtains or furniture. By keeping these items safely at a distance it helps prevent heat damage while also directing warmth into the room for improved heating efficiency. Shelves also prevent direct contact with the top of the radiator, which protects any items you might like to place above or your pets that tend to lie on warm surfaces. Many stylish finishes add a natural, elegant touch to your space, making it both a practical and attractive upgrade for your home.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>The majority of our bathrooms are equipped with Towel Rails, which are essential to keep our bathrooms warm and cozy.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 0.875rem;">Thought this particular room, which is absolutely necessary for us all to use, can be the most dangerous, thanks to the potential for burns, falls, and flooding.</span></p>
<p>Towel Rails are known to get very hot, hence many hotels and public places use warning signs to notify us of the dangers relating to such hot surfaces.</p>
<p>But what happens if you are elderly, vulnerable, less able, a child, a pet or indeed anyone where the signs are not clear, easily visible or the space is just too small to avoid the Towel Rail or a hot Radiator, which is the case in so many of our small cloaks, en-suites or indeed in our homes, care homes, assisted living places, as well as hotel rooms, canteens, staff rooms etc.</p>
<p>We also brush against radiators in entry halls, corridors, and en-suite Towel Rails, but the high temperature does pose burn risks on prolonged contact.</p>
<p>The elderly, vulnerable, children, indeed, anyone can be at risks of burns from En-suite Towel Rails, Bathroom and Hall radiators, due to their high temperature.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0244/5436/5258/files/Radiators_in_Small_cloaks_bathrooms_narrow_enty_halls_600x600.jpg?v=1657711125" alt="Towel Rails and Radiators in Small cloaks, bathrooms &amp; narrow enty halls"></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Their bathroom is a particular risk and this can be mitigated by using a Radiator Cover, designed specially for protecting people from Radiator or Towel Rail heat, such as those from company<span> </span><a rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Radiator Covers Shop" href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/" target="_blank">Radiator Covers Shop</a><span> </span>(<a href="http://www.radiatorcoversshop.com/">www.RadiatorCoversShop.com</a>)</p>
<p>It's also worth trying to avoid excessive pipework, which of course, can be hot as well.</p>
<p>One of the largest risks is also from falls, so anti-slip flooring can be a welcome addition as well.</p>
<p>The importance of  <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-covers?page=1">Radiator Heater Covers</a> in care home environments cannot be stressed enough, but is often overlooked.</p>
<p>In fact, the matter is so serious that The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that under health and safety legislation, <a href="%C2%A0https://radiatorcoversshop.com/" title="RADIATOR COVERS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>RADIATOR COVERS</strong></a> <strong>ARE</strong> required when people who have limited mobility are at risk of falling onto any hot surface, which could cause them harm.</p>
<p>The relevant legislation is:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.hse.gov.uk/enforce/hswact/index.htm" title="•	Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA), section 3;">Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA), section 3;</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR), regulation 3;</li>

</ul>
<p>The room that is specifically identified as potentially most dangerous is the <strong>bathroom</strong>, as it makes us most exposed to the potential for burns, falls and flooding.</p>
<p>Vulnerable people cannot always tell when something has become too hot, such as a radiator, towel rail, hot tap water etc.</p>
<p>This is why we developed Radiator Covers that are specifically designed to fit onto <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/products/towel-rail-radiator-cover-safety-panel-protecting-from-burns-in-en-suit-cloaks-bathroom-heaters" title="Towel Rail Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Towel Rails</a>, creating a physical barrier from the hot heater.</p>

<p>With a simple attachment mechanism the <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/products/towel-rail-radiator-cover-safety-panel-protecting-from-burns-in-en-suit-cloaks-bathroom-heaters" title="Towel Rail Radiator Coves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Towel Rail Radiator Covers</strong></a> are very easy to fit onto the heater, so that the flat panel covers the ladders as well as any dials and valves. Indeed, the Heater Cover can be made to any size so that it hides any pipes you might also like to cover.</p>
<p>The Panels are placed a little way away from the radiator to limit the transfer of direct heat, yet open on all sides retaining good heat distribution. Made to a specific size means that the <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/products/towel-rail-radiator-cover-safety-panel-protecting-from-burns-in-en-suit-cloaks-bathroom-heaters" title="Towel Rail Radiator Coves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Towel Radiator Panels</strong></a> can fit into any space, even if the Heater is close to the toilet, door, bathroom sink or a shower door etc. This also means that the Towel Rail Covers can be easily fitted during a renovation project or indeed retrospectively without the need to make any changes to the existing bathroom pipework or position of the Towel Rail.</p>
<p>The importance of <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-covers%20%20" title="Radiator Heater Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Radiator Heater Covers</u> </a>in care home environments cannot be stressed enough, but is often overlooked or perceived as unnecessary or indeed disruptive, complicated and expensive.</p>

<p><em> *Towel Rail Radiator Covers to be fitted by professional fitter or carpenter, we recommend testing the strength of fitting by applying pressure and weight, adding fixings if necessary, we also recommend checking the strength of the fitting regularly to ensure the fixings did not become loose of misplaced due to any impact.</em></p>]]>

    <title>How does my Radiator distribute the heat?</title>

      <![CDATA[<div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0244/5436/5258/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_and_heating_distribution_-how_it_works_480x480.jpg?v=1683037420" alt="Warming feet in front of cozy warm fireplace"></div>
<div></div>
<div>If you are considering fitting<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers" target="_blank" title="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiator Covers</a><span> </span>it is likely because of the specific look, a design you would like to achieve, you are not happy with the plain and often rather an ugly radiator that spoils the look of the room, the window you just dressed, the hallway etc. etc. But in the back of your mind, you also have the questions - what impact will covering the radiator have on how efficient the radiator heater is in heating the room?</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>To understand how<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers" target="_blank" title="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Radiator Covers</strong></a><span> </span>might influence your heating we need to understand how your heating works.</div>
<div>
<br>
<p><strong>The three types of heating distribution</strong></p>
</div>
<ul></ul>
<div></div>
<div>There are there main types of<span> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer">heat transfer</a>: convection, radiation and conduction:</div>
<div></div>
<h1><strong>CONVECTED HEAT</strong></h1>
<div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_and_heating_distribution_-_convected_heat_large.jpg?v=1542374952" alt="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers and heating distribution - convected heat"></div>
<ul></ul>
<div>
<p><strong>Convected Heat<span> </span></strong>works on the basis that the more dense cold air is at the bottom and heated air expanding and rising to the top. This it the main principal of design in modern radiators where cooler, condensed air is drawn from the bottom, it gets heated as it passes through the radiator and so it rises and diffuses its heat, warming the air around and falls back to the bottom as it cools down. With this in mind, covering the heat source might reduce the distance that the convection current will carry the heat, hence<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/kids-radiator-cabinets" target="_blank" title="Distinct Desings Radiator Cabinets" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiator Cabinets<span> </span></a>might reduce the heat efficiency of your radiators, whilst<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers" target="_blank" title="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiator Covers</a><span> </span>that are open on all sides have little impact on Covected Heat.</p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Shelves_Slate_Grey_large.png?v=1542291779" alt="Distinct Desings Radiator Shelves"></div>
<div>
<p>With the warm heat rising to the top it is also<span> </span><span><a href="https://www.uswitch.com/energy-saving/guides/energy-efficient-heating/">recommended</a></span><span> </span>to place a<span> </span><span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers/products/made-to-measure-rounded-radiator-top-shelf-windowsill-made-with-strong-1-8cm-think-material">Radiator Shelf</a></span><span> </span>above the radiator to direct heat toward the room, for maximum heating efficiency.</p>
<h1><strong>RADIANT HEAT</strong></h1>
</div>
<div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_and_heating_distribution_-_radiant_heat_large.jpg?v=1542375077" alt="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers and heating distribution - Radiant heat"></div>
<div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Radiant Heat is the heat of the<span> </span></strong>sun, a bonfire, a fireplace that heats your skin when you are in direct contact. Radiant heat travels in straight lines of energy turning into heat and is absorbed by the object it comes into contact with. The large gaps on our Radiator Covers not only offer a stylish addition to any room but are also designed to allow the majority of the heat to come through, limiting its impact on Radiant Heat produced by your heater.</p>
<h1> <strong>CONDUCTED HEAT</strong>
</h1>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_and_heating_distribution_-_conducted_heat_large.jpg?v=1542375110" alt="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers and heating distribution - conducted heat"></div>
<div>
<p> </p>
<h1><strong>Our Recommendations</strong></h1>
<p>Our homes are heated by<span> </span><span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/blogs/news/radiator-covers-and-heating-distribution">convected heat</a></span><span> </span>(about 80% according to this<span> </span><span><a href="https://www.bestheating.com/info/blog/how-does-a-radiator-heat-the-room/">article</a></span>), this means introducing any barriers, such as badly designed Radiator Cabinets, will reduce the efficiency of your heaters.</p>
<p>Our most popular <span><strong><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers">Radiator Covers</a></strong></span> are designed to retain the heat efficiency of your heaters. The panels are designed only to ‘cover’ the front of your radiator, meaning that the top and bottom (and sides) of your radiator are completely open, which allows the free flow of air through the radiator retaining the effective distribution of<span><strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_heater"> convected heat</a>. </strong>Positioned 5cm away from the front of the heater Radiator Covers have minimal effect on the Radiant Heat yet prevent direct contact with the radiator and potential burns.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although more enclosed Our Radiator Cabinets have been specifically designed with large openings on top and bottom to encourage free flow of convected heat; stylish, yet open pattern of the front panel will have minimal effect on the radiant heat, meaning in comparison to other Radiator Cabinets ours cause the least interference with the heat transfer from the radiator to the room, indeed there is a flue effect of cold air being drawn from the bottom, through the radiator and adding the natural convection process. Enclosed on sides the<span> </span><span><strong><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/kids-radiator-cabinets">Radiator Cabinets</a></strong></span> also provide an even better barrier that Radiator Covers safeguarding children, pets etc. from touching hot radiator surfaces or getting injured by sharp valves or pipes, and therefore we highly recommend these in children activity areas such as bedrooms, playrooms, nurseries, corridors etc. etc.</p>
<p>With the above in mind, you should consider using different types of Radiator Coverings in different areas and different position e.g. Radiator Covers in the lounge, dining room, landing and Radiator Cabinets in children bedroom, nursery, playroom or busy corridors etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, it is<span> </span><span><strong><a href="https://www.uswitch.com/energy-saving/guides/energy-efficient-heating/">recommended</a></strong></span><span><strong> </strong></span>to place a <span><strong><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/collections/radiator-covers/products/made-to-measure-rounded-radiator-top-shelf-windowsill-made-with-strong-1-8cm-think-material">Radiator Shelf</a></strong></span><span><strong> </strong></span>above the Radiator Cover; the shelf will direct the heat toward the room preventing it rising directly toward the ceiling; a stylish shelf will also provide the solutions as a handy storage in the hallway for the keys or post, a mental peace in the lounge to display photos, candles, cards etc. or additional surface in the dining room for glasses etc; placing a shelf above the Radiator is also known to redirect heat into the room improving heating efficiency.  and display space some might like above the Radiator Cover.</p>

<p>You are considering buying the<a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-covers" target="_blank" title="Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span> </span><strong>Radiator Heater Covers</strong></a><span> </span>to transform your interiors - clearly, you have a <strong>great taste</strong>! (and you know what will look great without causing heat loss) ... but you are not sure if your radiators are suitable - search no more, here is some information explaining the types of radiators and what fitting solutions we offer.</p>
<p> </p>
<h1><strong>PANEL RADIATORS</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_-_Panel_Radiator_Details_and_Fittings_large.jpg?v=1545230117" alt="Distinct Designs Panel Radiators Photos and Fittings"></p>
<p>By far the most popular radiators fitted in the majority of UK houses as well as commercial buildings<span> </span><strong>PANEL</strong><span> </span>radiators are characterised by a metal grille fitted on two panels.</p>
<p>Our Standard Radiator Cover fittings are designed so the two 'teeth' on top of the fitting (picture above) clips between the metal grille elements and the structure fits onto the radiator ensuring solid fitting of the Radiator Cover, yet easy removal and repositioning when required.</p>
<p>All our Radiator Covers are supplied with the standard fittings, which also include a self-adhesive spacer and bottom clip, see our<span> </span><strong><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/pages/instructions" target="_blank" title="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers Fitting Insturcitons Page" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fitting Instructions page</a></strong><span> </span>for more details.</p>
<h1><strong>COLUMN RADIATORS</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_-_Column_Radiator_Details_and_Fittings_large.jpg?v=1545231539" alt="Distinct Designs Column Radiators Details and Fittings"></p>
<p>Column radiators are found in some older, possibly period properties. </p>
<p>Our Radiator Covers can be easily fitted onto a Column Radiator but you will need to order an additional adapter kit, which fits in between the 'ribs' of the radiator, see more details on our<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/pages/instructions" target="_blank" title="Distinct Designs Radiator Covers Fitting Instructions" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fitting Instruction Page</a><span> </span>including the short video. </p>
<h1><strong>ROUND / ROLL-TOP RADIATORS</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_-_Round_Roll_Top_Radiator_Details_and_Fittings_large.jpg?v=1545231867" alt="Distinct Desings Round Roll-top Radiators Details and Fittins"></p>
<p>There are some properties built in the 70s that have single or double radiators with tops that are distinctly rounded on the top as per the above photos. With a number of customers asking for a solution we found an elegant metal clip that fits over the rounded edge of the radiator whilst the clamp with <span>18 to 22mm adjustable pin </span>holds the Radiator Cover in place.</p>
<p>Please <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/pages/contact" target="_blank" title="Contact Us" rel="noopener noreferrer">let us know </a>if you need such a fitting and we will send it to you with your order.</p>
<h1><strong>BATHROOM TOWEL RAIL</strong></h1>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0244/5436/5258/products/Radiator_Cover_Alternative_Fixing_-_Bathroom_Towel_Rails_large.jpg?v=1579086081" alt=""></p>
<p>Bathroom towel rails get very hot so it is important to minimise the risk of burns, especially for children, if the bathrooms are used by guests in your B&amp;B, hotel or public area or the Towel Rail is positioned close to the sanitary ware making it almost impossible not to touch it when in use. Our Radiator Covers can be fitted directly onto standard towel rails so they create a barrier from the hot radiator whilst retaining the heat efficiency.</p>
<h1><strong>OTHER TYPES OF RADIATORS</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Designs_Radiator_Covers_-_Other_Radiator_Types_Details_and_Fittings_large.jpg?v=1545232222" alt="Distinct Designs Other Types of Radiators Designs and Fittins"></p>
<p>But if the above information does not cover your radiators why not use two bolted L shaped brackets that you can attach to the wall and the Radiator Covers at your preferred height and angle; you will need to drill the wall to fix the bracket but ... it is a small price to pay to get a beautifully looking radiator! We can supply these brackets upon request.</p>

    <title>5 Reasons to use Radiator Cabinets in Kids Bedrooms</title>

      <![CDATA[<h1><strong>5 Reasons to use <a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-cabinets" target="_blank" title="RadiatorCoverShop Radiator Cabinets" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiator Cabinets</a> in Kids Bedrooms</strong></h1>
<h1><strong>1. Safety - safer touch</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Kids_Radiator_Cabinets_features_-_safer_touch_with_no_direct_contact_with_the_heater_large.jpg?v=1538669498" alt="Distinct Kids Radiator Cabinets features - safer touch with no direct contact with the heater"></p>
<p>Enclosed on top and sides the Radiator Cabinets provide physical barrier safeguarding children, pets, etc. from touching hot heater and no direct contact with the radiator minimises the danger of burning of the delicate young skin</p>
<h1><strong>2. Protection – fully enclosed </strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Kids_Radiator_Cabinets_features_-_fewer_bumps_with_sharp_corners_pipes_hidden_large.jpg?v=1538669608" alt="Distinct Kids Radiator Cabinets features - fewer bumps with sharp corners &amp; pipes hidden"></p>
<p>Radiator Cabinets hide all sharp corners, pipes, valves meaning radiators are less likely to cause scratches, bumps, and bruises; this is why we highly recommend these in children activity areas such as bedrooms, playrooms, nurseries, corridors, etc.</p>
<h1><strong>3. Reduced noise – a better night sleep</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Kids_Radiator_Cabinets_features_-_reduced_noise_when_heaters_are_heating_or_cooling_large.jpg?v=1538670084" alt="Distinct Kids Radiator Cabinets features - reduced noise when heaters are heating or cooling"></p>
<p>You might have noticed that some radiators (especially the older ones) tend to make a bit of noise when heating up and cooling down in particular, Radiator Cabinets covers the radiator which reduces<span> any monstrous noise it might be making, helping to get a better night sleep for everyone in the family.</span></p>
<h1><strong></strong></h1>
<h1><strong> 4. Performance - optimal heat distribution</strong></h1>
<p><em><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Kids_Radiator_Cabinets_features_-_optimal_heat_through_large_top_and_bottom_gaps_large.jpg?v=1538669871" alt="Distinct Kids Radiator Cabinets features - optimal heat through the large top and bottom gaps"></em></p>
<p>With top and side panels<span> </span><strong>Radiator Cabinets</strong><span> </span>are more enclosed than our standard<span> </span><a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-covers" target="_blank" title="Radiator Covers" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radiator Covers </a>meaning they are not as heat efficient. Our innovative design of<span> </span><a href="https://radiatorcoversshop.com/collections/radiator-cabinets" target="_blank" title="Kids Radiator Heater Cabinets" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kids Radiator Cabinets</strong><span> </span></a>features large gaps at the top and bottom of the cabinet meaning there is the least interference with the heat transfer from the radiator to the room in comparison to other cabinets. There is also a theory that the that with well-designed Radiator Cabinets there is a flue effect of cold air being drawn through the radiator and directing the warm air into the room, adding the natural convection heating process.</p>
<h1><strong>5. Easy maintenance – removable front</strong></h1>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2183/9137/files/Distinct_Kids_Radiator_Cabinets_features_easy_access_for_maintenance_with_removable_front_cover_large.jpg?v=1538669935" alt="Distinct Kids Radiator Cabinets features – easy access for maintenance with the removable front cover"></p>
<p>The front panel of the Radiator Cabinet is fitted to the frame with standard KEKU fixings (see details on our<span> </span><a href="https://distinctdesigns.co.uk/pages/instructions2" target="_blank" title="Distinct Desings Radiator Cabinets Fitting Instructions" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fitting Instruction Page</a>) which means it can be easily removed allowing access for maintenance, annual bleeding, changing the settings, vacuuming etc. etc.</p>
