How to Measure for a Custom Radiator Cover?
Accurate Measurements for a Perfect Custom Radiator Cover Fit
Accurate measurements are essential to ensure your custom radiator cover fits perfectly, allows proper airflow, and installs without issues. Please follow the step-by-step instructions below carefully before placing your order with ArtMillwork Design.
Step 1: Measure the Exact Radiator Size
Using a tape measure, carefully measure only the radiator itself (not an existing cover).
Record the following exact dimensions:
Height – from the floor to the top of the radiator
Width – from the far left edge to the far right edge
Depth – from the wall to the front of the radiator
✏️ Important:
Write down the exact radiator measurements only.
Do not add extra inches at this stage.
Step 2: Add Required Clearance for Proper Fit
(If you have extra space available, you may add additional inches as desired.)
To ensure easy installation, proper heat circulation, and a clean professional appearance, please add the following clearances to your final submitted dimensions:
Add +1 inch to Height
Add +2 inches to Width
Add +1 inch to Depth
These added clearances allow for:
Proper airflow and heat circulation
Paint and material thickness
Smooth installation without friction
Step 3: Measurement Example
If your radiator’s exact dimensions are:
Height: 20”
Width: 20”
Depth: 10”
Your submitted order dimensions should be:
Height: 21”
Width: 22”
Depth: 11”
This ensures your custom radiator cover fits comfortably and performs as intended.
Important Measurement Notes
Measure only the radiator, not an existing cover or enclosure
Include pipes, valves, and baseboards, unless instructed otherwise
If your radiator has unusual layouts, exposed pipes, or obstructions, please contact us before ordering
Baseboard Cutouts
If your radiator area includes baseboard cutouts, we require two measurements:
Baseboard Height
Baseboard Depth
These measurements allow us to properly prepare the radiator cover for a clean, flush installation.
Windowsill & Baseboard Conditions
If your installation includes both a windowsill and a baseboard, please note:
We do not create cutouts for windowsills
Windowsill cutouts should be made on-site by a handyman or installer
This ensures:
Maximum precision
A clean, professional finish
A snug fit of the radiator cover against the wall
Pipe Cutouts
If your radiator requires pipe cutouts, please contact us by email before ordering so we can review your setup and confirm feasibility. 📧 Contact us: info@artmillworkdesign.com
