FAQs
What are the exact external and internal dimensions of this radiator cover?
The external measurements are H 83.3 x W 111 x D 19cm approx. The internal measurements, which determine the maximum radiator size it can conceal, are H 81 x W 105 x D 16cm approx.
Is assembly required for this radiator cover?
Yes, the Vida Arlington Radiator Cover is delivered flat-packed and requires home assembly. All necessary instructions are included for a straightforward process.
Does this radiator cover come in other colors or finishes?
This specific guide is for the white finish model. While other variants might exist, this product is described as a 'white' radiator cover. The top shelf has a natural wood look.
Will this radiator cover significantly reduce the heat output from my radiator?
Like all radiator covers, there can be a slight reduction in heat output due to obstruction of direct heat flow. However, the vertical slat design is optimized to allow heat to dissipate effectively while still concealing the radiator.
How do I clean and maintain the radiator cover?
> Info needed: Specific cleaning recommendations. Generally, for the white finish and natural wood top shelf, a soft, damp cloth is suitable for wiping down surfaces. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials to protect the finish.
Can I paint this radiator cover to match my room's decor?
> Info needed: Information on painting suitability. While possible for some furniture, it's recommended to check if the existing finish is suitable for repainting without affecting durability or appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are wall fixings included to secure the cover?
The product description mentions easy assembly and instructions for hassle-free installation. It does not explicitly state whether wall fixings are included. It's generally recommended to check the package contents upon arrival or consult the instruction manual for details on wall attachment hardware.
Troubleshooting
Radiator cover does not fit over the radiator.
Double-check your radiator's exact external dimensions (height, width, depth, including valves) against the cover's internal dimensions (H 81 x W 105 x D 16cm approx.). If measurements exceed the internal capacity, the cover will not fit.
Difficulty during assembly, parts not aligning.
Carefully review the assembly instructions provided. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented before tightening screws. Sometimes, a slight loosening of all screws can help align parts before a final tightening.
Cover feels wobbly or unstable after assembly.
Ensure all screws and fasteners are fully tightened. If the issue persists, consider securing the cover to the wall using appropriate wall fixings (not included) for enhanced stability, especially if it's in a high-traffic area.
Visible gaps between panels or uneven surfaces.
Re-check that all components are correctly seated and all screws are evenly tightened. Sometimes, components might not be pushed fully together during initial assembly. Disassemble slightly and reassemble, ensuring a snug fit.
