Screen mat

In many houses and apartments, reed mats are often found on the windows, which protect the premises from the rays of the scorching midday sun. By the same principle, you can make a screen for the heating radiator located under this window..

The top edge of the mat is attached to the rail with a stapler. The rail itself is installed and fixed in a niche in any convenient way.

A nice screen for a radiator can be bamboo bundles stuck in floor flowerpots filled with expanded clay or
gravel.

Note: Bamboo can be replaced by a shredded, dried and varnished vine or suitable tree branches and
shrubs.

Mesh in the bathroom

An option for draping a heating radiator in the bathroom can be a net, for example, from a playpen. Its lower edge is fixed on metal rods, the upper edge – on an edge strip screwed to the over-radiator shelf. A semicircular cutout is provided for the circulation of warm air in the shelf.

Note: the screws used to fix the rail to the shelf must be galvanized or brass.

Technostyle

If the room is dominated by an environment with shiny glass and metal, the so-called hi-tech style, then you should find a suitable metal chrome grille for the radiator screen. To mount it in the window sill, they install racks, to which the grille itself is attached using bolts and nuts.

Note: the option for attaching the grille can be protruding studs, which are made from bolts with a diameter of 8 mm. The lattices are suspended by pins to special holders mounted on the racks.

Curtain

In a children’s room, it is better to drape the heating radiator with a cloth of fabric similar in color and pattern to window curtains. This will protect the restless child from injury during games and fun..
The fabric is fastened by metal eye rivets installed at the corners of the panel.
Note: having cut out small holes in the corners of the stitched panel, special rivets-ears are installed in them.
