Radiator Guard – Standard Sizes

Radiator Guard – Standard Sizes

• The sizes shown below are a selection of our most common radiator sizes and are in millimetres.
• They are the measurements of the radiator, not the radiator guard size.
• We will automatically add the clearance of H: 75mm x W: 100mm x D: 50mm to the sizes listed.

What Is A  Radiator Guard? 

• Many schools, nurseries and care homes have installed radiator guards to prevent prolonged, physical contact with radiators.
• They fit onto the wall completely covering the radiator.
• Finished in white plastic coating, the square mesh allows heat to circulate freely, reducing heat loss.
• Our radiator guards do not absorb heat, meaning they are safe to touch.
• Strengtheners are fitted to the inside of the guard.
• Which also act as a spacer to create a permanent space between the heat source and the guard, reducing heat transfer.
• All of our radiator guards conform to HSE guidelines which state that radiators and heaters should be designed or covered.
• So that the maximum accessible surface temperature does not exceed 43 °C, to reduce the risk of burns from hot surfaces.

Radiator Guard Features

• Material – Manufactured from 25mm pitch wire mesh, which allows the heat to escape without retaining the heat, like traditional wooden radiator covers.
• Safe to touch – The plastic coating is soft to touch without any sharp edges. The inch mesh also means that fingers cannot get trapped inside.
• Valve access – Our guards will feature a cut out as standard to gain access to valves on either side of the radiator.
• Easy maintenance and cleaning – The ‘hook on’ design allows the guard to be removed by loosening the screws for easy access to carry out maintenance and cleaning.
• Clearance – As standard, we will add the relevant clearance of (H) 705m x (W) 100mm (D) 50mm.
• Colour options available – Manufactured in a range of colours at no extra cost to match the interior of your room.  (non-standard colours will be incur an additional charge)

Measuring Your Radiators:

Follow our step by step guide to measuring your radiators:

• Measure the height of your radiator (NOT to the floor).
• Measure the width of your radiator (NOT including the valves).
• Measure the depth of your radiator (From wall to the front of the radiator).
