Decorative grilles for heating radiators from mdf. Wooden grilles for heating radiators, pergolas. Battery Screens

The appearance of bare batteries does not always correspond to the ideas of the owners of the premises about the beautiful. Decorative grilles can solve this problem. They disguise old radiators and, with the right approach, perfectly complement the interior design of the room. However, radiator grilles have not only aesthetic, but also several very practical functions.

Why are there grilles on the radiators

The grilles prevent human contact with too hot batteries (especially for old cast-iron modifications), protect against possible bruises on sectional ribs or protruding metal plates of convectors. It is also important that the grilles, in principle, impede access to the radiators, and this reduces the risk of careless and careless handling.

Also, the radiator grill resists dusting the batteries. Dust particles that settle on the hot battery and gradually decompose under the influence of significant temperatures fill the atmosphere of the room with decomposition products. This is harmful to the health of people living in the room (especially harmful to allergy sufferers and those with asthma). But in the presence of a lattice, it is she who takes everything upon herself - as a result, the dust undergoes decomposition to a much lesser extent. And in order to prevent an increase in the concentration of dust, the grate should be periodically washed or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

Another possible purpose of the grates is to make heat transfer more intense. There are schemes for installing lattice screens with different thermal efficiency. A well-designed and placed enclosure can significantly increase the heat dissipation of the battery.

Differences in design

Depending on how the grilles are located relative to the heating batteries, there are three types:

• flat;
• with a lid;
• voluminous.

Flat grilles (screens) hide radiators, fittings and pipes recessed in niches. Grilles with a cover that slide directly over the ribs of the heating elements. They are capable of covering the radiator both from the front side and from above. They are useful if the battery protrudes slightly from the plane of the wall. Volumetric grilles cover the radiator from all four sides, resulting in a full-fledged box.

Differences in material

Classic in this case can be called options for gratings made of wood and metal. However, now they are made from other materials, for example, from MDF (MDF), chipboard, glass and plastic. The capabilities and effectiveness of their use depend on the properties of each of these materials.

Features of the tree

Wooden grilles for heating radiators are, as a rule, exclusive, a kind of piece product with carved patterns. Timber structures look great when used for batteries that protrude beyond the sill line. However, the flat wooden version of the grille can also turn out to be a real masterpiece.

Such a lattice will become an important element of the furnishings (no less important than sofas, armchairs and other pieces of furniture) and decoration of the interior of an apartment, office or house. And also gratings made of wood by an experienced craftsman can improve the microclimate of the room. Natural wood, as research shows, has a real healing effect - that is, the choice in favor of this material is more than justified.

In general, wooden structures are characterized by:

• durability;
• reliability;
• environmental friendliness;
• excellent heat dissipation.

And the best species of wood for such products are oak or beech.

However, it is worth pointing out the disadvantages. Practice shows that voluminous wooden grilles do not tolerate temperature changes in the radiator zone very well. Some of them warp or crack after 2-3 heating seasons.

Advice! Warping of wooden structures can be avoided by placing a container with water on the inside, near the radiator.

Benefits of metal

This is the most practical option, which has no equal in some parameters on the radiator decoration market today. Here are some of the key benefits of metal grates:

• super-resistance to temperature changes and mechanical stress;
• insensitivity to changes in pressure and humidity levels;
• ease of installation;
• low prices (this is due to the fact that the manufacturing technology itself does not imply too significant costs);
• long service life;
• wide range of models.

Metal decorative grilles for a heating radiator are usually beautiful sheets with holes in the form of an exquisite pattern.

It is quite difficult to make a metal lattice on your own (especially if you do not have welding skills) - it is better to buy a finished product. Moreover, now in many companies you can order a product according to individual sizes if standard samples are not suitable, for example, due to the fact that the radiator has a unique shape or is installed in an unusual place.

Can plastic be used

This material is used everywhere today, including for the manufacture of radiator grilles. Plastic panels really attract a very affordable cost and variety of shapes. But at the same time, they quickly lose their original appearance (in comparison with steel or wooden counterparts).

And when plastic is heated, substances are released into the air that are undesirable for human health - they can penetrate the lungs, cause coughing, sore throat, make eyes watery.

Attention! Despite the low cost of plastic products, it is prohibited to install them in children's or health care institutions.

How to make it yourself

First of all, you should choose the design format itself. If the battery is in a niche (alcove), a grid in the flat screen format will be appropriate for its fencing and decoration. Such a screen is always selected taking into account the real dimensions of the niche, and the installation of this product is in fact not too difficult.

But much more often the batteries are in limbo and are located under the window opening. In such situations, experts advise making a choice in favor of hinged radiator grilles.

Materials and tools used

Among the existing options for the manufacture of a flat grille for a radiator, the easiest and fastest are options from MDF or chipboard. Such a construction is quite simple to make. For this you may need:

• MDF or chipboard sheets, the colors of which will harmoniously fit into the existing interior;
• hacksaw;
• joiner's glue;
• sheet steel mesh, which will be used to install the front and two side panels;
• a sheet of metal to create a reflector;
• nails;
• screws, staples and possibly other fasteners.

Of course, you can't do without a tape measure and a pencil. If desired, you can take decorative perforated MDF for the mesh.

Lattice making step by step

The manufacturing process for the radiator grill can be described as follows.

The height and width of the radiator are measured first. Then you need to add 10 cm to the width and 5 cm to the height. It is on the basis of the results obtained in this way that the front panel will be manufactured.

The depth of the radiator is also measured. Another 2.5 cm is added to the resulting value - this will be the width of the side panels of the future product.

The dimensions of the screen cover are measured in exactly the same way (and all the same, its dimensions should ultimately exceed the dimensions of the sidewalls by a couple of centimeters).

After completing the measurements, you can start cutting the parts. To create the front profile, they take sheets of MDF or chipboard and cut out rectangular parts from them with a width of about 11 cm.And then, using a hacksaw, angles equal to 45 degrees are made in the contact zones.

A metal reflector is installed against the back wall, its dimensions should be approximately the same as that of the decorative grille itself. This reduces heat loss, and infrared radiation from the battery will be redirected from the near wall to the middle of the room.

Then a sheet steel mesh is installed, which in this case plays the role of a frame, and the structure is assembled from the previously cut parts.

It is possible to attach a flat lattice not only to the frame, but also to anchor collets. However, due to the need to purchase expensive parts, this method is not very popular among those who want to make a screen on their own.

Our video testimonials

There are many different models of heating radiators on the market that differ in their attractive appearance. However, they do not always fit well into the interior. To solve this problem, decorative grilles are installed on the batteries.

Varieties of decorative grilles

The main purpose of the grilles is to hide the surface of the radiator. But at the same time, they should not prevent air from circulating in the room. At the same time, they also perform a protective function.

One of the prerequisites that must be met when installing the grille is simple dismantling, so that in the event of maintenance or repair, it can be easily removed.

The size of the decorative panel should be 10-15 mm larger than the radiator.

Today on sale there are grilles for radiators made of various materials:

• wood;
• metal;
• stainless steel;
• thin plastic;
• aluminum;

Wood

Lattices made of wood are not cheap, since they are made from oak and beech, and these types of trees are quite expensive, but the quality of their products is appropriate.

Wooden grilles blend harmoniously into any interior and add sophistication to it. Despite the fact that such devices are reliable and durable, they can deform over time. high temperatures have a negative effect on wood products. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to the type of wood used in the manufacture of the trellis. It is important that it does not emit tar when heated.

Wooden trellises can be crafted by hand. This is very convenient because you will be able to completely design carvings and get a unique product made to your liking.

Do not buy grilles that are made in a "handicraft" way, because if the manufacturing technology is made with flaws, the attractive appearance of the product will quickly deteriorate.

MDF

As already noted, not everyone can afford wood gratings. If you want to save money, but at the same time want to have a high-quality coating for radiators, then you should pay attention to the grilles made of MDF. This is a more budget-friendly option for radiator coatings.

MDF tolerates moisture and high temperatures well.

As is the case with wooden lattices, you can choose any pattern and such a coating will be an excellent addition to the interior.

Steel

This material is in the greatest demand and today there are many variations in the manufacture of steel gratings.

Usually they make a steel grille for a radiator with their own hands of a frame type. For this, ferrous or galvanized metal is used. But stainless steel panels are produced in factories.

When choosing a steel grille, do not forget to specify how the cabinet will be painted. Preferably, it is performed by powder technology (baking). The advantage of such a coating is that it does not change its color when heated.

Forged elements are also used to decorate the interior.

In order to make a steel grate yourself, you need a welding machine, and you need to paint the panel exclusively with heat-resistant enamel or paint.

Stainless steel radiator shield

Plastic

This material is the cheapest, but not the most reliable, since such a coating will inhibit the flow of warm air masses. The material tolerates high temperatures well. Remember, however, that a lot of heat will be lost.

Plastic gratings are created from PVC-based compounds. If the manufacturing technology is followed correctly, then the coating will be able to withstand temperatures up to 95 ° C, and the appearance will not be affected.

The main advantages of such coatings:

• acceptable price;
• wide range of shapes.

But! If we compare plastic protective screens for radiators with wood and steel, the former will lose their attractive appearance earlier than others.

Glass

Glass decorative grilles for heating radiators outwardly look beautiful and expensive, but the price for them is also appropriate. Such screens for colored or frosted glass batteries are being created. On sale there are copies with drawings.

This kind of material is not very practical. This is due to the fact that glass does not always withstand mechanical shock. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful with such material.

How to make it yourself

If you want to make a decorative coating for a radiator with your own hands, then it is best to use metal.

First of all, you need to decide on the size of the lattice. For this, of course, the dimensions of the radiators are taken into account. Then take a sheet of galvanized steel and corners 15 * 15 mm. Measure the battery and add 10-15 mm in width and height to the obtained data.

In any case, no matter what material for the manufacture of the protective screen you have chosen, the procedure will be as follows:

• Measure the radiator and draw a design diagram.
• Make corners and form a frame.
• Install the lattice in the resulting structure.
• Mount the support assemblies that will contact the battery surface.

When making a diagram, be sure to make sure that there are technological holes. They are needed to ensure free access to shut-off valves, and .

After completing all these steps, you need to cover the product with a protective layer. If you wish, you can apply a drawing. And the final stage is to check the finished grate for the effect of the maximum temperature of the coolant in the system.

To make a niche for a heating radiator, it is best to use drywall and profiles for it.

Your decorative radiator grill is ready!

The battery today in the framework of the heating system is a common and standard phenomenon for any room. This is due to the need and practicality of use. The fact that it is convenient and functional is no doubt, but they may not fit into the interior design. Agree, the battery does not look very attractive in a luxurious interior, say, in the Baroque style?

This situation can now be easily corrected. This requires a heating radiator screen. A truly universal solution that, without radical measures and colossal budget spending, helps to turn the situation in your favor. All kinds of designs, shapes and materials of screens are offered to the attention of buyers, which allows you to choose the most suitable solutions for a specific situation.

Purpose of screens: why is it necessary at all?

A decorative screen for a battery - what kind of "beast" is this? What is its functionality - is it limited only to the aesthetic component? Let's figure it out in order to make an objective decision when buying!

Battery shields have two basic purposes at the same time:

1.Protection, as the name suggests. Radiators with rather sharp corners are common and can cause accidental injury in adults and especially children. Most of the screens have rounded shapes, which will protect a person from injury. Also, radiators can be accidentally damaged and damaged by any metal object. It will be much better for the screen to take over as it is easier and cheaper to replace than the entire battery.

2.Improving the appearance of the battery in the interior. As noted above, radiators can have a completely unattractive appearance, do not fit into the concept of the room, distract attention and place unnecessary accents, and by deciding to buy a decorative screen for the battery, you can hide all these flaws and even decorate the interior.

Thus, a decorative screen for a radiator is not a whim, not a luxury, but a necessity that allows you to combine business with pleasure (beauty and protection).

Screen types for radiators: choose the best one for you!

Before you buy a protective screen for a battery, which can be done in the catalog of our online store, it is worth understanding which type is needed in a particular case, since today you can find a variety of variations of such products on sale. Depending on the material, screens are of the following types:

Metallic. You can order a construction of any color and design. There is an option to install a forged or stainless steel grate, which will last a very long time. With such screens, heat transfer losses will be minimal. They are very easy to care for and easy to clean. If the metal does not corrode, then the service life will be practically unlimited. It is necessary to take into account both sides of the coin, therefore, the disadvantages include the too simple appearance of the most budgetary models. Beautiful options with patterns will have a higher cost. However, for metal screens for heating batteries, the price is justified by their quality and beauty.

Wooden decorative screens for radiators. These screens are some of the most common. Most of them are environmentally friendly products that are safe for the health of people and pets. The design and color options are very varied. The wood is negatively affected by humidity and temperature changes, which can lead to deformation of the screen, so you should choose products with high-quality processing, which will significantly extend the service life.

Plastic. The price for a plastic decorative screen for a battery is more loyal, therefore such products are more often than others used in modern interiors. They are easy to use as they are easy to clean and serve for a long time. It is also worth making a choice here based on the quality of the product, since cheap heating plastic from unscrupulous manufacturers can release substances harmful to health.

MDF. If you like the nobility of wood, but the price "bites", then you can buy a screen for the radiator from MDF (plate). Affordable price is not their only plus. In addition, they are not afraid of increased humidity and temperature drops;

Glass. Glass radiator protection has the most attractive appearance. In the production process, good tempered glass is used, so the price will be higher if you compare, for example, CC with a previous representative. Patterns can be applied to the glass panel. Such screens are the easiest to clean and do not require any special maintenance.
