Why this range exists

A reliable specification-grade standard.

A strong, neat cover helps protect users from hot surfaces and sharp edges while improving the appearance of radiators in occupied buildings. Final LST performance depends on correct specification with the heating system.

  1. 01

    Made to measure

    Built around confirmed height, width and depth, with valve access and cut-outs where required.

  2. 02

    Cleanable powder coat

    A durable finish designed for day-to-day estates cleaning routines.

  3. 03

    Safe, practical detailing

    Profiles and edges designed around occupied public environments.

  4. 04

    Built for impact

    Robust steel construction for long-term use in high-traffic areas.

Project note: product suitability, current test evidence, certification, LST performance, airflow and risk-related details must be confirmed for the specific application.

Selection and specification

When to choose a Standard Steel radiator cover

Choose Standard Steel when the project needs a made-to-measure steel casing and routine access can be handled through the agreed fixing arrangement. Where cleaning teams need frequent access to the radiator behind the cover, compare Eazi-Access before selecting the range.

A cover changes the airflow around a radiator. The result depends on the radiator, ventilation, clearances and heating-system conditions; a general percentage or universal surface-temperature guarantee would be misleading.

Supporting information: Read the Standard Steel datasheet. Ask Coverad about your specification.

What to record before manufacture

  • Record radiator size, valve positions and projecting pipework separately from the proposed cover dimensions.
  • Note skirting, wall condition and nearby doors or furniture so the fixing and access arrangement can be checked.
  • Ask for the applicable test report and operating conditions when assessing heat output and surface-temperature performance.

Request a site survey if you need help recording site conditions.

Finish information

Anti-microbial powder coating.

The anti-microbial powder-coated finish incorporates silver-ion technology to inhibit bacterial growth on the coated surface. Coating technical literature references testing to ISO 22196:2011 against certain bacterial strains.

This evidence relates to the coating, rather than a test of the complete radiator cover or an infection-prevention claim. Routine cleaning remains necessary. Ask us for the coating performance information and cleaning guidance when developing your specification.

Frequently asked questions

What specification teams usually ask.

Practical checks to make before the current datasheet, drawings and project requirements are confirmed.

Can Standard Steel covers be made to non-standard sizes?

Yes. Each cover is manufactured to confirmed project dimensions, including the required height, width and depth.

Can the colour and material be changed?

Alternative RAL colours and galvanised, Magnelis or stainless-steel material options can be discussed at quotation stage.

Can Standard Steel be floor or wall mounted?

Both arrangements are available. Flat and 30° sloping top profiles can also be considered, subject to the site and project requirements.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Send dimensions or a radiator schedule, drawings and clear site photographs. Coverad can then confirm access, cut-outs, finish, fixing approach and whether a survey is needed.
