How To: Build custom radiator covers

Is your house heated by big clunky radiators? Are they eyesores that are taking up valuable space in each room? If so, you can build custom radiator covers that will attractively hide the metal monsters and provide you with a convenient shelf for storage or decorative pieces.

Radiators come in many shapes and sizes. Radiators that fit under windows are generally shorter. Radiators that heat larger rooms are usually bigger and deeper. Most likely you have several different sizes in your house, so you will need to measure each individual radiator and custom make a cover to fit each one.
