Product Information
Full details
The GFW Kobe Adjustable Radiator Cover in black is designed for homeowners looking to elevate their interior aesthetic by concealing unsightly radiators with a modern, contemporary touch. It provides the key benefit of a versatile, extendable frame that fits a wide range of radiator sizes while maintaining efficient heat flow through its diagonal slatted front. While it offers a sturdy surface for decor, users should note that the unit requires assembly and covers a fixed height of 84 cm, meaning it may not be suitable for unusually tall or low-profile radiators.

FAQs
Can I paint the radiator cover?
While the finish is durable, we recommend keeping the original coating. If you choose to customize it, ensure you use heat-resistant paint.
Does this cover block the heat?
No, the slatted front design is specifically engineered to allow heat to circulate into the room effectively.
What tools do I need for assembly?
You will generally need a screwdriver and potentially a level to ensure the unit is mounted correctly.
Is this cover safe for children?
Yes, it hides the hot metal surface of the radiator, significantly reducing the risk of accidental burns.
How do I measure for the right fit?
Measure the widest point of your radiator, including pipes or valves, and ensure it falls between 130.6 cm and 202.6 cm.
Troubleshooting
The cover does not sit flush against the wall
Check if your radiator valves are protruding beyond the 17.4 cm depth of the cover; you may need to adjust the positioning or ensure the floor is level.
The unit feels unstable
Verify that all locking screws have been tightened and that the extendable segments are correctly aligned and secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The product arrives in flat-pack form and requires assembly. Use the included hardware to expand the unit to your desired width. Ensure the radiator is cool before attempting to position the cover.
Compatibility:
This model is designed to fit radiators ranging between 130.6 cm and 202.6 cm in width. Always measure the total length, height, and depth of your radiator (including valves) before assembly to ensure a proper fit.
Care:
Clean the exterior using a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the black finish. Keep the slats free of dust to maintain optimal airflow.
