The installation of a radiator cover is a huge benefit to any environment in terms of health and safety for anti-ligature or LST purposes.
But how do you know which size cover to order?
Read on to find out the best way to establish what size radiator cover you need and how Contour can help accommodate that…
Measuring Matters
The key to getting the right size radiator cover for you is to correctly measure the area.
Contour prioritises ensuring that all of the environments that we work in are properly measured to ensure the best fitting radiator cover for the available space.
We offer a bespoke range of options and are able to work around pre-existing radiators in environments in order to accurately fit the covers within the exact measurements needed.
What we need to know:
- Length and width of the pre-existing radiator
- The height of the pre-existing radiator
- Depth required
- Skirting boards and window sills
Contour are able to provide site surveys as part of our services to ensure that your radiator cover order is accurately measured and that any special requirements such as working around window sills are properly taken into consideration.
Where Is The Cover Going?
When installing radiator covers, and choosing which size you require, it is also important to think about the space available.
If Contour is installing a radiator cover into a hospital ward for multiple service user occupancy, the space is likely to be large and very open. Keeping safety at the forefront of our minds; Contour will ensure the radiator cover is the correct size for this kind of environment.
This kind of space will have different requirements with a radiator cover for a small school classroom for example. Classrooms are full of tables, chairs, cupboards and, of course, pupils and teachers. This all takes up a certain amount of the available space.
Contour will work to ensure that the radiator covers we provide for this space are properly sized and designed to safely meet the needs of this space.
Working For You
No environment is the same as any other. Contour understands this. That is why we work on a bespoke, job-by-job basis when measuring the sizes of radiator covers; we build our products to meet the needs of the customer. We don’t work with a one-size-fits-all mentality.
Whether you need LST or Anti-Ligature covers, Contour can accommodate that. We are even able to offer a range of colours; for your covers depending on your needs.
