I have baseboard
radiators. Do you make covers for these?
Yes.
We have been making custom baseboard covers for over
30 years, and they are much better than the ones you
probably have in your house now.
They are one piece and completely assembled and
welded in our factory.
The usual problems of the vents falling off are
completely eliminated and will last you for many years
without falling off like the ones you can buy and piece
together at Home Depot.
I need a cover right
away for an inspection.
Do you offer rush service?
Yes.
In most cases, we are able to provide you with a
cover before your scheduled inspection or if you need them
for a special occasion.
Sometimes in under a week!
I would like to see
a cover in person. Do you have a showroom?
While we don't have a show room, you
can come in to the factory and take a look at them many
covers that we currently have in production.
Please contact us for exact hours of operation.
Can I pick up a
radiator cover at your shop?
Yes.
Local pick-up is available at our North Philadelphia
manufacturing facility, but all of our covers are custom
made so please contact us for the current production time.
Do you service the
New Jersey shore?
Yes.
We go to all of the shore areas, including Margate,
Ventor, Longport, Ocean City, and Cape May.
I want to use my
radiator cover as a seat, Is that possible?
Yes it is.
Our standard covers are made of heavy gauge metal and
can withstand the usual picture frames, flowers or any other
knick-knacks that you want to put on them.
If you want to use it as an actual bench-type seat,
where people will be sitting on it, we can make what is
called a reinforced top.
What we do is weld a heavy steel top underneath the
lid, so it can withstand the weight of someone sitting on it
or anything really heavy that you would like to put on top.
Why should the top
be insulated?
Having an insulated top on a radiator
cover serves a two-folds purpose.
One purpose is that it allows the lid of the cover to
not get hot, and that allows you to use it as a shelf.
You can place anything you would like on the top of
the cover, giving you extra shelf space to help decorate
your house. It
also forces the hot air out the front of the radiator,
instead of the heat rising directly to ceiling (remember hot
air rises and cold air drops.
This actually makes the area that you live in warmer.
I like the bookends
on the cover, but I only have room for a bookend on one
side. Can you
do this?
Yes.
We can make bookends on either side or on both.
Also, the shelf can be any size that you want.
Usually the standard size is about 10"-12", but it
can be made to any size that you suits your specific needs.
I have
a pipe coming out of the wall that will not allow a
cover to slide down.
Can I still cover this radiator?
Yes.
This type of cover would need what we call a "Mouse
Hole" cut-out.
It looks like an upside U or a mouse hole.
Our covers can be made to fit in any area, even when
people say there's no way you can put a cover on that
radiator. We
have and will find a way to make it fit.
I have baseboard
molding that may interfere with cover.
What can I do about this?
We can put baseboard molding cuts on
the back of the cover that will allow the cover to sit flush
with the wall, giving it a much better look.
Also, we do not
charge any extra for these cuts.
(SEE HERE)
I have seen other
covers on some other websites that cost over double what
your prices are.
Is there something that I am missing?
We have been making radiator covers for
over 65 years.
It is what we specialize in and have been making them the
same way since the beginning.
By getting your covers from us, you are cutting out
the middle man and buying direct from the manufacturer.
We pass this saving right along to you, the customer.
Our covers can last well over 40 years if they are
treated properly and they are built to last.
Good design is timeless is a quote that we like to
use, because our covers look just as good today in a
refurbished modern home as they did back in 1945 in an
original Philadelphia row home.
I see you do not
sell wood radiator covers. Can you tell me what the
difference is between wood and metal covers?
Sure
click here to read a letter I wrote about the difference
between the two.
Things to look for when buying a radiator cover
Do I have to measure myself and trust my own measurements?
How is it shipped? Common carrier where risks of damage are
great or personally company delivered?
Company you can trust? We have been manufacturing in
Philadelphia for over 65 years and take pride in all of our
work.
Does it come painted?
Is it assembled?
Is it made from a heavy gauge metal so that it can last?
Rounded corners?
Cut-outs? How much do they charge if my cover needs a
special cut out?
We do not charge nay extra if your cover requires any
additional cut outs for baseboards or a mouse hole cut.
And with our professional measuring, offered at no
charge to you, you can be sure your cover will fit properly
and look beautiful.
A custom fit or one size fits most?
The best made radiator covers is one that comes completely
assembled. All
our covers come completely assembled, with a hinged on lid.
If you can think of it we can probably make it...
