These competitively priced radiator covers from the Wooden Radiator Cabinet Company can turn a bulky steam or hot-water radiator into a piece of furniture. The company claims that its covers, ranging from $450 to $800, are energy efficient.
The inside of the cabinet is finished with reflective insulation that directs the heat forward through the grill. Insulation also keeps the top surface at room temperature -- and makes it suitable for use as a shelf for books, plants and televisions. The cabinets are also strong enough to sit on, and can be designed as window seats.
The cabinets do not have backsides for easy access to radiators. Top and end panels are made of cabinet-grade medium density fiberboard (MDF) covered in oak veneer. The remaining parts ( slats, stiles, rails, trim and feet) are solid oak. Painted cabinets are made of poplar solids, with top and end panels of MDF. All cabinets are finished inside and out.
The cabinets come in three styles -- the more formal Prairie and traditional and a less formal Shaker, and are available in numerous finishes.
