Frequently asked questions

Radiator pipe sleeves (also known as shrouds or covers) are decorative tubes designed to hide exposed, bare copper central heating pipes. When you install a modern towel rail or radiator, the raw copper pipes extending from your floor or wall can look out of place against your new layout. These flexible radiator pipe covers slide directly over the copper work, instantly transforming your plumbing into a stylish design element that matches your heater.

Our pipe sleeves are crafted from heavy-duty metal or strong, heat-resistant plastics that are designed to withstand the high temperatures of your home's hot water system without cracking or peeling. They’re finished in durable, rust-resistant coatings to handle the damp environment of a family bathroom. So, whether you choose white radiator pipe covers to blend against your skirting boards or a metallic option to complement your valves, they’ll stay looking fresh for years to come.

Fitting these covers is a simple DIY task that requires no pipe draining. Here’s how to do it:

  1. First, wipe down your existing copper pipes to remove any dust or grease.
  2. Next, measure the length of the exposed pipe from the floor or wall to the valve and trim the slot-on sleeve to size using sharp shears or a pipe cutter.
  3. Slide the open seam of the sleeve around the pipe until it clips tightly in place.
  4. Finally, push the matching floor collar plates flat against the surface to hide any rough tile or carpet holes.

Regular radiator pipe covers are designed to slide over the pipework, so they should be fitted before the radiator is connected. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Clean the pipework – Wipe down the exposed pipe to remove any dust, dirt or grease.
  2. Measure and cut the cover – Measure the length of pipe that needs covering and cut the sleeve to the required length using a suitable pair of scissors, shears or a fine-toothed saw, depending on the material.
  3. Fit the pipe cover – Before connecting the radiator, slide the pipe cover over the pipe and position it neatly against the floor or wall.
  4. Connect the radiator – Once the cover is in position, connect the radiator and valve as required.
  5. Fit the floor collar – If included, slide the matching collar over the pipe and push it down to cover the gap where the pipe enters the floor, creating a neat finish.
