Probably a waste of time and effort advertising radiator covers on an Aussie site. There wouldn't be enough radiators in Australia to even give you a weeks worth of work.
Most people here either use wood heating, gas or reverse cycle air conditioning to heat their homes. Their is very little heating using radiators.

Mick
These are radiaters that usually have hot water circulating through them so they wouldn't be a fire hazard, but children could burn themselves on them because they can get fairly hot.

Okay, but still, a MDF box around a heat source is not going to promote your heat distribution at all is it? Plus I'd be worried about formaldehyde fumes from the heated board. Then again, what the hell do I know about heaters? We've got a woodstove that gets fired up maybe tent times a year, and half of that would be during the wet to try to drive some of the moisture out of the house.

Mick, you should go easy on him, after all he is probably just a bored sales man flooding the internet with adverts to his site.
On reflection I have to admit that I have noticed the presence of several pomgolians here on the board recently, so they may benefit from this advert.I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

Surely they mean to cover the radiator during the summer when it is not in use ? These are "decorative" covers maybe for decoupage etc.

These are fully fitted heater covers that stay on the radiator all year round. Their primary role is for the older style radiators - very large segmented jobs as opposed to the ones you now get that are a reasonably flush fitting flat style. They are designed to obscure the radiator but more importantly to prevent scolding as the old radiators are quite large and ran very hot.
The fronts are normally meshed in either wire or some form of fretwork and the tops lift up to allow greater flow of hot air.
They were quite common in the UK up to the 60's.They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now.

Oh, that sort of Radiator cover....
I thought some UK band had recorded a cover of one of the The Radiator's old songs.
