If any of your radiators are old and 'orrible - and need covering up

attractive than older ones, without any need to cover them further
for aesthetic reasons.

In that case, perhaps I should have said "*some* modern radiators . . .have
metal covers at the ends and top . ."

I was thinking of rads like the Stelrad Savanna range - and those sold by
Screwfix - neither of which are overly expensive. I suppose you can expect
BG to save a few coppers wherever they can, whilst charging top whack to the
customer!
