Makes a nice change to see a video where the maker doesn't use a circular saw, clamps and all the other gear as not everybody has these... the end result looks fantastic definitely going to be trying this myself

[@ACornerInEurope]

Thank you 😊 In my latest video where I make a mantel radiator cover, I only used a power tool to cut the stones. I hope you will share some photos of the finished result 🤗

[@SAMWsfegYT]

I am going to try this! You broke it down so anyone can do this. Thank You!! :)

[@ACornerInEurope]

You are welcome. Let me know how it goes 🙂

[@chuckbuckets8825]

You did a wonderful job!!! It looks beautiful! And I actually think I could do this! I’ve seriously been looking at radiator covers for over 2 months and they are so expensive and I can’t afford them. I think the only tool I would need to buy would be the saw to do this. You’ve totally inspired me. Thank you! -Elizabeth

[@ACornerInEurope]

Aaaaw, you will make me cry. All I want is to inspire people so they can make the stuff I make and post, go for it and tag me on Instagram. Thank you so much

[@Aoneify]

And for anyone else feeling like they need a saw, if you know your exact measurements for each part you can get them to cut them at the hardware store

Good job. You can use parchment paper or wax paper under things you are gluing. It won't stick nearly as much.

Hi Chelsey thank you 😊I felt the same way when we moved in, maybe you can try and build one see how it goes😊

[@nathaliesaa3122]

Amazing stuff! I had watched 4 other videos before finish yours and I was feeling doomed with all the tools the other guys used. I will definitely give this a go thanks to you! Some of your links are out of stock, so you have any other recommendations for the mdf decorative sheet? Thank you!

[@ACornerInEurope]

Thank you, I got the screen from Amazon De

[@laurencetiseaux8944]

C’est très joli je m’abonne .

[@kpack613]

Amazing project! I think I am going to try it. My only question is how you got the top piece to have rounded edges. Did you add molding to it? Please let me know.

[@ACornerInEurope]

Hi yes it was a decorative moulding. Tag me on IG once you do it😊

[@chrissy212e]

Very good video especially for alot of us who dont own every fancy d.i.y tool in the world lol. Was this a cost effective project as you can buy some covers at a budget price around £27 in the UK and the more expensive ones are like £70 and over fully painted.

[@ACornerInEurope]

Hey Chrissy, thank you for watching 😊. It was definitely more expensive than £70. However all our radiators are odd sizes, leaving us with two options. Get a custom made one or make one ourselves. It is a lot cheaper to make it and the design will also be unique.

[@chrissy212e]

@@ACornerInEurope That's was a job very well done I'm lucky my radiators seem standard sizes I think I'm only going to cover the hallway one the rest are newly painted. Keep up the good videos 👏☺

[@helenlong6221]

Love this! Did you buy the mdf precut (including what looks like a notch for the baseboard)? Do they charge you to cut it? How much space did you add beyond the dimensions of the radiator?

[@ACornerInEurope]

Hi Helen, I asked the guys at the hardware store to cut them. The raiator was is 60 by 40cm, so I added 20cm on the width and height, the notch at the baseboard doesn't need to be cut, when building you raise the the basebord a few cm from the ground then attach it to the side boards.

[@missbrownskin0]

Hey, did you drill the radiator into the wall? If not, is it stable and can it be left on his own. I would ideally like to not drill it into the wall so that there is easy access when contractors come. I would appreciate a response. Thanks

[@ACornerInEurope]

Hi, I used window or a cupboard buckle, it comes in 2 pieces, one piece you can attach to the wall and the other piece you attach to the radiator cover, then hook it. Search for this on Google you will find it on amazo "Cabin Hook Stainless Steel Hook and Eye Latch 2 Pcs Cabinet Latches for Door Gate Window Closet Shed." Let me know if you need anymore help. ❤

[@RashikRahman]

How do you access the valve to turn it on or off? It seems like the valve is covered inside the board .

[@ACornerInEurope]

Hey Rashik, I always have my termostat at 2,3. When it is hot, like summer, it doesn't heat. When it starts getting cold it heats to 22-23 degrees Celsius, so our home is always a minimum of 22 degrees. But, if yours require that you turn it on and off every day, I recommend just pulling it out and change it, as the current wireless solutions are expensive.

[@k.Newbbie]

How is the cover holding up? And does it restrict the heat? Absolutely love this 👌🏽👌🏽

[@ACornerInEurope]

So far so good it's doing well. The Air flow is normal.😊

Moving on, can you please tell me your measurements? I know every radiator can be different but seeing the dimensions is helpful to make it my own.
