Tips for Covering Radiator Pipes

Radiator Pipe Covers and Sleeves

Pipe covers, also known as pipe sleeves, work wonders for concealing unattractive radiator piping. Some may even be labelled as "piping kits." It's important to note that pipe covers aren’t able to conceal all the pipework that runs along or up your walls.  When it comes to achieving a tidy and appealing appearance around a radiator, they offer a convenient and straightforward solution for covering radiator pipes. After investing time and money on the perfect radiator and valves for your room, why not add radiator pipe covers and sleeves? Functioning like a stylish metal glove, pipe covers effortlessly fit over your central heating pipes, adding that crucial final touch to any new radiator installation. To ensure the best possible outcome, it's advisable to choose pipe connectors that match the colour of your radiator valves, or at least a similar hue. At UK Radiators, we offer a wide range of pipe covers that are carefully crafted to complement the aesthetics of modern or traditionally styled radiators.

 With silver accents being a key trend this year, chrome covers are bound to make a statement in your home. These chrome pipe covers add a gleaming effect with their reflective and polished appearance which works wonders in compact spaces by creating an illusion of added roominess. The silver effortlessly complements any radiator or towel rail colour, making it a versatile choice.   

 Embracing warmth and timelessness, antique brass has made a triumphant return! The lustrous, brushed golden tones of these antique brass pipe covers effortlessly enhance the aesthetic of your home. With its undeniable charm, antique brass can infuse a sense of elegance and sophistication, making it a go-to choice for those seeking a stylish space.

 Stay on trend with stunning copper pipe covers and match your room with copper TRVs to complete the look! These beauties complement any Scandi and rustic-themed rooms.

Paint Your Radiator Pipes

Painting your radiator pipes is a commonly suggested and easy-to-do solution for covering them up. To create a seamless look, you can paint the pipes the same colour as your wall, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. Alternatively, you can go for a bold and contrasting colour to make a statement. If you prefer a quirky or industrial aesthetic, you can intentionally make the pipes stand out by painting them in unique colours.  Alternatively, if you want to cover them up with minimal effort and at a low cost, you can use standard radiator paint, which is ideal for copper piping and is typically available for around £5 per small tin.

Hide Pipes With Plants

Another option for hiding radiator pipes, especially those running up the walls rather than along the skirting is to incorporate potted plants.  Placing tall houseplants in front of the pipes can effectively conceal them. For pipes that extend to the top of the wall, hanging baskets can be used to divert attention away from the pipes near the ceiling. You can take a different approach by using climbing plants like Ivy to integrate the pipework into your overall design scheme.
