How to Choose Radiator Pipe Covers

Choosing the right radiator pipe covers is quick when you follow four checks: pipe size, wood, thickness, and clearance. Use the guide below to order the correct clip-on cover first time.

1) Pick the correct pipe size: 15mm or 22mm

Your cover must match the outside diameter of your pipe:

15mm (most common radiator pipe size)
22mm (thicker pipework)

If you’re not sure, follow the “How to Measure” section.

2) Choose your timber (real wood)

Select the wood that best matches your room:

Oak – classic, pronounced grain
Walnut – darker/richer tone
Maple – light and modern
Beech – warm light tone, subtle grain

Note: real wood varies naturally in grain and colour.

3) Select cover thickness: 6mm or 10mm

Both thicknesses give a premium finish—choose the look you prefer:

6mm (Slim): more minimal appearance
10mm (Chunky): more substantial look

4) Check clearance before ordering (important)

All our covers have a fixed 45mm outer diameter (OD).
Please check there is enough space for a 45mm round cover, especially near:

skirting boards / walls
radiator valves (TRV / lockshield)
pipe clips, elbows/bends, and floor entry points

If space is tight, you may need to stop the cover short of the valve/obstacle.

Quick checklist

✅ Wood: oak / walnut / maple / beech
