    The decorative radiator grille side finishing panel is sold separately. 

  • Decorative steel radiator grille – cover | for 5-section cast iron radiator | metal | 490x610x140mm | white | DRG5

    DRG5 is a decorative steel cover for a sectional cast iron radiator, size 5 sections. Outer dimensions 490×610×140 mm (W×H×D), colour white, front panel standard (non-perforated). The cover encloses the front and top of the radiator, hides an old unit and reduces the risk of direct contact with the hot surface.

    Key point:
    Replacing an old cast iron radiator is costly: the system has to be drained and the pipework altered. A cover solves the appearance and safety issue without plumbing work. The critical step is choosing the size: the section count in the name is the manufacturer's size designation, while fit depends on the actual radiator dimensions.

    How it works

    The cover is a bent steel sheet housing with front and top sections, finished with a polymer coating. It is placed in front of the radiator and fixed through Ø8 mm holes. Fasteners are not included, so choose screws and plugs to suit the wall material.

    The standard front panel with decorative openings lets air pass through: cooler air enters from below, warms up at the radiator and rises through the panel and the top. Convection is maintained, but the cover blocks part of the radiant heat – as any radiator screen does.

    The result is a neat, uniform radiator finish without changing the pipework. The product has no side panels: if the radiator ends are visible, side panels (610×140 mm) are purchased separately.

    Why choose DRG5?
    One product hides the radiator and separates it from accidental touch, with no changes to the heating system. The range covers 5 sizes and 4 colours, so one style can be kept across a room or building.

    Main functions

    • Hides the radiator – an old or unevenly painted cast iron radiator gets a tidy finish.
    • Contact protection – the housing separates the hot radiator surface from accidental touch.
    • Air circulation – openings in the panel and the open bottom edge keep convection going.
    • Consistent style – 5 sizes (290–690 mm) and 4 colours let you match every radiator in the room.
    • No plumbing work – the cover is fitted without draining the system or disconnecting the radiator.
    • Easy care – the polymer-coated surface can be wiped with a damp cloth.

    Where is it used?

    • Flats in older apartment blocks
    • Children's rooms
    • Kindergartens and schools
    • Offices and administrative premises
    • Stairwells and corridors
    • Rental flats before letting or sale
    • Hotels and cafés during interior renovation

    Use by need

    Homeowner.
    Refreshes the interior without replacing radiators or doing plumbing work.
    Building manager.
    Uniform sizes and colours give stairwells and common areas a tidy finish.
    Finishing contractor.
    A clear size range and fixed dimensions make ordering for several sites simple.

    Practical use

    If you are renovating a room and do not plan to replace the cast iron radiator, measure the radiator width including connections, its height and its projection from the wall to the front. If all dimensions are smaller than 490×610×140 mm and there is room for the thermostatic valve, the DRG5 cover will fit – it can be fixed without draining the system.

    Pros

    • Hides the radiator without pipework changes
    • Reduces the risk of contact with a hot surface
    • Air circulation is maintained
    • 5 sizes and 4 colours in one range
    • Steel construction with polymer coating
    • Easy-to-clean surface

    Cons / limitations

    • Part of the radiant heat is blocked – this may be noticeable in very cold rooms
    • Fasteners are not included
    • Side panels are sold separately
    • Fixed dimensions – the radiator must be measured accurately
    • The cover itself gets warm – it is not thermal insulation

    Safety and installation notes

    • Install when the radiator has cooled down.
    • Keep access to the thermostatic valve and the air vent.
    • Fix the cover securely to the wall, especially where children are present.
    • Choose fasteners to suit the wall material (concrete, brick, plasterboard).
    • Do not cover the unit with fabric or dry laundry on it – this blocks the airflow.
    • Do not seal the bottom edge – cooler air reaches the radiator through it.

    Quick selection guide

    • cover a radiator in children's or public areas
    • make all radiators on a site look the same
    Check before use:
    • radiator width including connections is less than 490 mm
    • radiator height is less than 610 mm
    • projection from the wall to the radiator front is less than 140 mm
    • access to the valve and air vent remains
    Important reminder: the cover does not replace radiator repair, flushing or heating system balancing, and it is not a thermal insulation product.

    FAQ

    What does “5 sections” mean?
    It is the manufacturer's size designation based on the section count of a standard cast iron radiator, but section width varies by model, so always check the actual radiator width.
    What is the difference between perforated and standard covers?
    The front panel pattern and appearance differ, while both types let air through for convection.
    Are screws included?
    No – the cover is fixed through Ø8 mm holes, and screws and plugs should be chosen to suit the wall material.
    Will the cover reduce heating?
    Convection is maintained, but part of the radiant heat is blocked, so the effect may be noticeable in cold rooms.
    Can the radiator sides be covered?
    Yes, side panels 610×140 mm are purchased separately.
    Which sizes and colours are available?
    Sizes from 3 to 7 sections (290–690 mm wide), in white, black, brown and sand, both perforated and standard.
