Custom radiator covers
Our custom radiator covers transform outdated heating units into decorative room features while maintaining functionality. Crafted from 20-gauge steel with insulated lids, these covers protect children and pets while allowing optimal heat circulation. Available in five baked-on enamel colors and multiple grill options including mesh and louvers, each unit is custom-measured for perfect fit.
Baseboard heater covers
These safety-focused covers conceal baseboard heating elements while enhancing room aesthetics. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, our covers maintain proper airflow and feature rounded corners to prevent injuries. The completely welded steel construction includes hinged tops for easy valve access and comes in traditional or modern styles to match any decor.
In-home measurements
Our team conducts precise on-site measurements to ensure perfect fit for every installation. Kate or Steve personally visits locations to evaluate radiator dimensions, room layout, and specific requirements. This process accommodates unique challenges like recessed units or extended pipes, guaranteeing custom solutions that factory-only approaches cannot match.
Installation services
We handle complete installation after manufacturing custom covers to exact specifications. Our two-week turnaround includes delivering and fitting units that match pre-measured dimensions. The process maintains energy efficiency while transforming heating elements into attractive furniture pieces with reinforced safety features throughout the New York Metro area.
AC unit enclosures
These custom enclosures integrate heating and cooling units into room decor while maintaining accessibility. Featuring the same safety standards as radiator covers, our AC unit solutions include insulated lids and scratch-resistant surfaces. The design prevents heat damage to walls while allowing proper air circulation through strategically placed ventilation grills in multiple style options.
