Although most people would agree that radiator covers and radiator cabinets are a great idea, and look beautiful, adding style and elegance, their comments often tend to turn towards making excuses for why it wouldn't work in their own homes. Comments along the lines of their home being too small, the rooms odd shapes, the radiators in awkward places or even that the style of their room just wouldn't suit a radiator cover. In this article we'll look at some of the common excuses or reasons raised by those who believe that radiator covers are great - just not for them.

One of the comments many people make regarding radiator cabinets is that whilst they look elegant and becoming in larger homes or rooms, their own rooms are too small. However convincing this argument may sound, in fact it is a little like saying that because a stately home may have a dining table which seats twenty eight, they will have no dining table in their own home because it is too small. Or because a large mansion house has five bathrooms, they will have no bathroom because their home is not big enough. The fact is that most features can suit any home of any size, as long as they are made in proportion to the size home, and the size room.

Although heading out to the builder's merchant to pick up the first radiator cabinet you discover may yield examples which are certainly too large for the average home, custom made radiator covers can be made to fit any size room. Whether it is for your bathroom or your living room, having a bespoke radiator cabinet measured, built and fitted will in no way reduce the usable size of your room, or create an ornamental piece which dominates the room. The scale of a bespoke radiator cover will be adjusted to suit the room and the radiator specifically. If you have room for a radiator, you certainly have room for a radiator cover.

Another comment often made, along similar lines to the size of rooms is that the rooms are odd shapes. Certainly almost any room is likely to be different to most other homes, and if radiator cabinet manufacturers were unable to create custom made covers to suit individual radiators and rooms then business would have dried up long ago! The fact that radiator cabinets can be made to fit the particular room means that almost regardless of the shape or layout, expert and professional designers will be able to create the perfect cabinet for you. Any reputable designer will certainly advise you if your room does pose any particular problems, in which case you have lost nothing by having explored the possibility.

Occasionally the excuse regarding having radiators in awkward places may be valid, since if you have a radiator immediately behind a door which opens into the room there may be limited space. However, this is most unusual, since to have a radiator behind a door does rather defeat the point of having a radiator there at all, since most of the heat will be blocked by the door itself. It is therefore only in the most unusual circumstances that awkward placement of a radiator poses any appreciable problem.

The final argument people tend to raise regarding the suitability of radiator covers in their home is that the style wouldn't suit the room. Again, this is a little like saying that because a famous pop star has a red sports car, you won't bother having a car because you don't like red. The fact is that radiator cabinets are available in a multitude of styles, with a whole suite of colours and finishes, and several alternative features.

From contemporary designs with bold lines and a striking design to the sophisticated modern look with a sleek, understated style, or from the simple elegance of a classic design to the sophistication of a traditional one, there is certainly likely to be a style ideally suited to your room. But the style doesn't end with the cabinet itself, since the grill at the front will provide a huge range of options, from fancy fretwork to simple clean lines. Then there are the colours and finishes to consider, with different wood finishes, varnishes or even the option to paint the radiator cabinet to match your existing decor. From rounded corners to sharp, clean angles - the list goes on as far as ways of customizing radiator cabinets is concerned.

So when it comes to thinking about radiator covers, forget the assumptions and comparisons, and start from the same point as a bespoke radiator cabinet designer - with your home, exactly as it is, with all its corners and quirks.
