Enhance Your Interior Design Projects with Radiator Cabinets

29th June 2010

There are many stunning design options for your interior spaces and you can really let your creativity shine when it comes to choosing fabrics, furniture and soft furnishings. However there are some areas of your home that provide a functional purpose, but can detract from a harmonious design. Radiators can present a problem for interior designers as they are often very plain, unattractive features that cannot simply be covered over. You can have designer bespoke radiators made for your home but this can be a very expensive option. It is much cheaper and more effective to install specialist radiator cabinets.

Radiator Cabinets
Radiator cabinets are designed to cover radiators without compromising their effectiveness at heating your home. These useful features can be created in a number of different styles to suit a wide range of home interiors including classic, traditional and contemporary themes. Radiator cabinets are available in a range of different finishes including natural and stained wood. You can also opt for painted radiator cabinets and this is ideal if you want a particular colour to match your décor. You can choose to blend your radiator covers in with the rest of the décor or you could select bold, bright colours and create stunning features for your rooms. Radiator cabinets can also save you money as they can direct heat more efficiently around your home. It is important to choose radiator cabinets that offer front opening sections to allow you to adjust the temperature and carry out maintenance easily.

Pre-Built Radiator Cabinets
You can buy pre-built, flat-pack radiator cabinets from DIY stores and these are an affordable option. This type of radiator cabinet is typically made from MDF board and is lightweight and available in a range of colours and styles. It can be difficult to find flat-pack radiator covers that fit accurately to individual radiator sizes, as these can vary dramatically from home to home. If you have spent a great deal of time and money decorating your rooms then you can achieve a much more pleasing affect by purchasing bespoke radiator cabinets.

Bespoke Radiator Cabinets
Bespoke radiator cabinets will be designed and installed by experts. This will ensure that your radiator covers fit into the spaces available and provide cost effective, attractive additions to your room.

You can choose from a wide range of designs, colours and finishes. Your bespoke radiator covers will then be made by experienced craftsmen to a high quality. Free quotes are available from most bespoke radiator cabinet providers. A designer will come to you home with some samples and assist you in choosing the right cabinet for your interior spaces. This personal service will ensure you get the look you want for your home.

Radiator cabinets are an essential design tool to help enhance your interior spaces. There are many options available for radiator cabinets from low cost pre-built packs through to high quality bespoke options.

Create a Smart, Elegant Look for Your Home with Radiator Covers

20th June 2010

Even if you spend a lot of time and money redecorating your home you could be let down by plain, unattractive radiators. These are difficult to disguise and can intrude into the harmonious, beautiful spaces you have created. Radiator covers can offer the ideal solution and can provide that final, elegant finish to your rooms.

What are Radiator Covers?
Radiator covers are basically compact cabinets or screens that are installed around existing radiators. They provide a way to disguise your radiators with an attractive finish, without compromising heat efficiency. In fact if radiator covers are fitted correctly they can actually increase heat efficiency in your home as they improve heat convection.

Radiator Cover Designs
Radiator covers do have some limitations in terms of design as they do need to fit into compact spaces and provide adequate heat convection. However you can get a number of attractive styles that can be matched with both traditional and contemporary interiors. You can choose from a number of features including straight or rounded corners, patterned grills and carved top sections. A selection of finishes are also offered and these can include a lacquered paint finish or a natural wood veneer finish. You can choose a design that will fit into the overall harmony of your room décor or you could opt for a bright colour that offers a bold, dramatic look.

Radiator Cover Installation
You can buy pre-built radiator covers from DIY stores and these are typically in 'flat pack' and will need to be assembled manually. You will need to fit the radiator cover accurately to ensure that heat convection is efficient. It can be difficult finding pre-built radiator covers that will fit accurately into awkward spaces. Therefore it can be much more cost effective in the long run to choose custom designed services. Professional craftsmen offer free quotes and will measure up your property before designing and building radiator covers to fit into the available spaces. This is ideal if you have awkward areas such as underneath bay windows. Although this service can be more expensive at the outlay you will benefit from the high build quality which will ensure your radiators are working to their maximum efficiency.

Custom Designs Radiator Covers
Another advantage of custom designed radiator covers is that you will be able to choose from a much greater range of styles and finishes. Pre-built radiators covers tend to be made from MDF, which can start to look shabby after a few years. A professional radiator cover design service will be able to provide you with high quality veneers and lacquered paint finishes. These will last for many years and will look very stylish in your home. If you do request a free quote from a custom design service then ask to see samples of previous work to help you get an idea of the finished product.

Radiator covers offer a stylish and practical way to ensure your radiators fit into interior design plans. There are a number of different styles and finishes available and these can provide suitable looks for both traditional and contemporary homes.

Kingston Cabinets: From Classic to Contemporary

15th June 2010

Style is just as critical as function when it comes to selecting radiator cabinets for your home. To give you the greatest possible chance of meeting your unique design needs, Kingston Cabinets offers a wide selection of the finest radiator cabinets available. Hand-crafted and durable, our radiator cabinets are investments that you can appreciate every day.

We offer four distinct and charming lines-Manhattan, Stockholm, New England, and Belgravia. Both Manhattan and Stockholm offer the customer a chic and modern option. These contemporary radiator cabinets feature simple and neat lines designed to fit seamlessly with the modern home. The New England and Belgravia families are tailored toward a more classic environment.

Manhattan is the ideal contemporary radiator cabinet for the modern home. Its bold design evokes the studio apartment feel of its namesake-New York City. Functional and forward-looking, this contemporary radiator cabinet is a popular choice among our customers. Available in white or cream, our Manhattan cabinets add a subtle yet striking dimension to the room.

Yet if the Manhattan line doesn't fit your need for a contemporary radiator cabinet, consider the Stockholm family. The sophisticated Stockholm provides a more classic look, but adds a modern twist. For example, this line comes in more than just white and cream, though those colours are certainly available. Walnut, maple, mahogany and oak veneers are also offered, allowing you to balance the bold, modern Stockholm frame with a more classic finish.

Moving further away from contemporary radiator cabinets, you'll find the New England and Belgravia collections. The New England line is solid and straightforward. Heavily customisable with a variety of colours and finishes, this classic is attractive in nearly every home. Nevertheless, this radiator cabinet does not surrender sophistication in the name of simplicity.

The Belgravia line is, in a word, charming. It adds warmth and allure to a room-perfect for any living space. The shelf seems to invite use as a mantelpiece for photos of the family and happy occasions.

Whichever member of our collection you choose-from contemporary radiator cabinets to classic ones-Kingston Cabinets seeks to match your own personal style with the piece that's best for you. Even down to selecting the grille, Kingston Cabinet's consultants will advise and guide you through this detail-oriented process. In the end, your satisfaction is assured. If you're not happy with your purchase within a week of its installation, we offer a full refund.

Regardless of which Kingston Cabinets radiator cabinet you select, you won't trade style for quality or craftsmanship. The differences are only in the details. And while we can characterize our cabinets as contemporary radiator cabinets or classic ones, the best way to determine how your cover will look in your home is to consult our senior designers. The best way to decide if you truly like a car is to drive it; reading reviews and watching commercials will help, but in the end it has to "feel" right. The same is true of your radiator cabinet. It has to "feel" right in a room, has to mesh with your lifestyle and personal preferences. This personal touch is what defines Kingston Cabinets.

Choosing the Right Radiator Cabinet for You

11th June 2010

A radiator cabinet can be a valuable addition to your home both aesthetically as well as practically. Kingston Cabinets is an excellent source for a personalized radiator cabinet to suit your home and to suit your tastes. With four styles in our cabinet collection from the sleek and contemporary Manhattan to the more regal Belgravia there are certainly a variety of options available when selecting a radiator cabinet, each just as functional as the next. It is the simplest and most elegant way to disguise a radiator and turn it into a functioning piece of furniture in your home.

Kingston Cabinets have a sophisticated and elegant appearance, making them a stylish accessory to any room. Installing a radiator cabinet can instantly enhance the distinction of your home. The radiator will no longer protrude as an unsightly necessity. Instead, it will be transformed into a beautiful piece to be admired, blending the radiator seamlessly with the rest of the room. Additionally, every detail of each of our radiator cabinets can be customized from size and finish, to grille pattern, and even corner shape. All this demonstrates that it was crafted especially for your home.

A distinguishing feature of Kingston Cabinets is our willingness and flexibility in ensuring that each radiator cabinet is tailored to the customer. One of the most useful services offered is the personal design consultation in which one of our design professionals will come to your home and offer guidance on choosing the precise radiator cabinet for the room. Your consultant will guide you through each step, from inception to installation, to ensure your satisfaction. Then the radiator cabinet is specially made, making each a unique piece of artwork and a reflection of your personal style.

However, these radiator cabinets have more than a mere stylish advantage. We have carefully designed all of our cabinets to provide the optimum amount of heating for as little cost as possible. A lone radiator merely warms the air rising above it, creating a warm ceiling but wasting a great deal of energy and heat before the room even begins to feel warm. Therefore, our radiator cabinets come with engineered slats: some on top to allow warmed air to channel into the room while slots underneath are made to draw in cold air. The radiator cabinet can also serve as a shelf or additional mantle to really help incorporate the piece with the rest of your furnishings.

Installing a radiator cabinet can truly enhance the ambience of a home by adding sophistication to an otherwise dismal fixture. It's the most effortless way to conceal and disguise your radiator while simultaneously enriching the look and feel of a room. Kingston Cabinets supplies elegant and original designs without sacrificing the functionality of the radiator. In fact, our radiator cabinets can even increase the efficacy of your radiator by helping to more evenly distribute heat where it matters throughout the room. Investing in a Kingston Cabinets radiator cabinet is the surest way to get the most out of your radiator both in beauty and in warmth.

Increase the functionality and beauty of your home today. Work with our professionals to choose the right radiator cabinet for you.

Radiator Covers and Your Home

1st June 2010

People put a lot of time-and thought-into the appearance of their homes. Yet one aspect of the interior that is frequently overlooked by homeowners is the radiator. Its presence is unavoidable, but few individuals avail themselves of the opportunity to turn an unattractive necessity into an appealing feature. A radiator doesn't have to mar a room's appearance. It doesn't have to break the flow of design. At Kingston Cabinets you'll find a professional team willing to help you select the right radiator cover. A radiator cover offers a number of distinct advantages-from both a design and a practical perspective.

Radiator covers effectively house, protect, and obscure the physical radiator. At the same time, they help to optimize air flow. Cool air enters vents located at the bottom of the radiator cover. The air is heated, rises, and escapes through openings located at the top of the radiator cover. This convective process increases the energy efficiency of the radiator, and of your home. Specifically, radiator covers help to heat the air more evenly, thereby minimising the "cold floor/warm ceilings" problem.

Once you decide that installing a radiator cover is the right decision for you and your home, Kingston Cabinets is there for every step in the process. Consult with one of our personal designers, who will help with everything from fit to finish. In fact, choosing from our incredibly wide range of radiator covers may be the most difficult part. Yet there is something for everyone in a collection that spans the modern, chic Manhattan to the ornate Belgravia. Even the grille pattern is customizable to your specific needs. After choosing your own unique radiator cover, installation occurs within four to eight weeks.

With continually rising energy costs, more people are choosing radiator covers not just for aesthetic reasons, but economic ones as well. Kingston Cabinets is committed to helping you save money on what is truly an investment in the home. All customers receive a 7 day cancellation period; a full refund will be made if you change your mind. Additionally, after the free consultation is complete, you'll communicate with the same member of our team throughout the process. Exceptional customer service and satisfaction is our primary goal. To that end, installation is arranged on a day that is convenient for you, and our technicians regard themselves as guest in your home.

Kingston Cabinets has developed this process with you in mind. We understand that making the decision to install radiator covers can be a difficult one, and that concerns exist on everything from style to shape. Customers want each radiator cover to blend in, to fit in the space, to be attractive and durable. With a large selection, finding the perfect radiator cover is a challenge. But it's a challenge that our experienced designers confront every day. Please review our Testimonials section online if you still feel even the least bit apprehensive. People from all over the country have expressed their satisfaction and delight with our radiator covers and our personal service.

Consider us for all of your radiator cover needs, and join the ranks of our contented customers.

20% Reduction On Household Heating Costs Available

16th June 2009

Recent research has shown that radiator cover grills can increase the efficiency of your home radiators by as much as 20%, helping to lower energy bills and reduce fuel consumption. At a time when all our heating bills are rising, an increasing number of us are looking at ways to lower our household bills. It has long been known that good insulation can help retain more of your home’s heat. But is that heat being circulated effectively? In many cases, it would seem not.

Although many people have had bespoke radiator covers made simply to improve the elegance and style of a home, it would now seem that there is much more to this elegance than might first meet the eye. Traditional, uncovered radiators, as the name might suggest, radiate heat. But the result of this is that a significant proportion of the heat rises to above where it is actually needed. As it cools, it falls, and so the overall temperature of the room at the level of people is far less than it is above their heads. The warmest place might be to sit on top of a radiator – but this is clearly neither practical nor comfortable!

Made to measure radiator cabinets can be built to fit exactly round your radiator, and take into account the shape of the room and any anomalies. A small gap at the base allows cooler air to be drawn in. Most home radiator covers have a grille front, often highly decorated fretwork, and the radiator cabinet forces the heated air out through these openings and directly into the room, at the most suitable height, turning the radiant heat into convective heat.

This means that the radiator’s heat is felt more immediately and more efficiently, allowing you to be able to reduce the amount of time it is switched on, and lowering your overall heating costs without having to lower the temperature. Whether you choose a simple plain white radiator cover to fit in unobtrusively with your existing decor, or a more fancy and elaborate model, the overall benefits will be far more than elegance. And as you enjoy your warm home you can even feel guilt-free knowing you’re doing your bit for the environment at the same time.

With around a 20% saving on energy bills for heating, most households will be looking at about Â£150 saving per year, which easily covers the cost of installation. With all of us under increasing pressure to help reduce fuel wastage, this is one way in which we can all help to contribute towards reducing our fuel consumption, whilst saving money at the same time.

Two Reasons Why Bespoke Radiator Cabinets Are More Cost Effective

6th June 2009

Bespoke radiator cabinets not only add a great deal of visual style and elegance to a home, but serve a very practical purpose too, one which could save money and help heat your home in a much more energy efficient way. Custom made radiator covers are always preferable to those which may be prefabricated, since they will be far more sturdy, last very much longer, and perform in a much more efficient way. A wooden radiator cabinet is subject to a great deal of heat, and in many cases a good deal of moisture as well. This places increased strain on the wood and the joints, which is why radiator cover grills made specially to order will perform far more effectively and provide years of elegance.

In days gone by almost every home would enjoy a traditional open fireplace around which the family would gather. From the point of view of interior design we would refer to this as being a focal point of the room. However, with more efficient central heating now available, in many cases the only focal point in evidence is the television! Being quite honest, traditional radiators don’t bring a great deal of beauty or elegance to a living space, and it’s no surprise that they become ignored.

But custom made radiator covers are not about covering up radiators or hiding them from view. Instead, it is about making them look more attractive, adding elegance and style, matching the decor of the room and helping to enhance the theme or mood which you, or your interior designer, is trying to achieve. Metal radiators can’t easily be painted or decorated without looking even worse, but a bespoke radiator cabinet can be made in such a way that the style or theme of your room is enhanced perfectly.

A wooden radiator cabinet can be stained, varnished or painted to blend in seamlessly to the room, immediately lifting the atmosphere and sense of completion. Nothing seems worse than spending all your time and effort redecorating a room only to find an ugly great slab of white metal clinging to your wall, sneering at your efforts elsewhere! Radiator cover grills can be crafted in a range of styles, with the vent holes available in various sizes and shapes. From diamonds to trefoils, from clovers to intricate renaissance style fretwork, the improvement is immediately apparent.

The top of a radiator can be a troublesome place, simultaneously able to gather a terrifying collection of dust and debris, whilst being wholly unsuitable for placing pictures or items of interest. Custom made radiator covers include a shelf which rests along the top, lifted up a couple of inches above the top of the radiator itself. This shelf both protects the radiator from gathering dust, as well as providing an ideal surface on which to place a few ornaments or pictures. Because the shelf is a little above the radiator, the heat should not affect the items placed on top. Bespoke radiator cabinets manage to achieve this perfectly, and if it is your intention to place items on top of the radiator cabinet then it will be particularly important to make sure that it has been custom made for this purpose.

But it is not just about the visual improvements to a room that people choose custom made radiator covers. A wooden radiator cabinet is able to make significant improvements in the way the radiator functions, enhancing its efficiency. This means that your rooms can be heated more efficiently, lowering heating costs quite dramatically. The saving in fuel alone may well negate the cost of the radiator cabinet itself in a few years.

How is this efficiency possible? Very simply the radiator cabinet turns the radiant heat of the radiator into convection heat, which is then directed into the room. Normally a radiator’s heat rises upwards, hitting the ceiling, cooling and then sinking again. However, a wooden radiator cabinet draws cool air in at the bottom, and then directs the heat forwards through the radiator cover grills and into the room. Far less heat is lost, and the heat that is generated is directed to where it is most needed.

When deciding to purchase a radiator cover or radiator cabinet it will be important to make sure that you choose one which will be ideally suited to the purpose and to your particular needs. No two houses are entirely the same, and there are always likely to be individual issues such as fabrics, furnishings, fixings and general use of the room which will impact on the suitability and effectiveness of your wooden radiator cabinet.

Custom made radiator covers take into account the exact dimensions of your room, the radiator, and the ways in which you need the radiator cabinet to be incorporated into the design of the room. Having the right bespoke radiator cabinet will make a massive difference in terms of interior decoration as well as heating efficiency.

Pair Turn the Heat Up

Wilmslow Express Business News - Thursday 19th March 2009

A mum and daughter are confident that the credit crunch won’t leave them out in the cold following the launch of their company, Kingston Cabinets, which designs and manufacturers bespoke radiator cabinets from its headquarters in Handforth, Cheshire.

Despite the recession, the pair believe now is the perfect time to start the venture as more people are choosing to improve rather than move, and they say there is a niche in the market to provide a quality tailor-made product that will enhance the interior style of any home.

Carolyn and Rebecca designed the range of classic and contemporary cabinets, which can be used in kitchens and bathrooms, and Kingston Cabinets’ entire range convects the heat of the radiator to ensure greater efficiency. Carolyn has vast experience in business. She began her career as a commercial engineer at nuclear power stations, has worked at senior management level in textile manufacturing and the motor trade, as well as owning a restaurant. In recent years she has worked in interim management at a number of companies.

Rebecca has a customer service and marketing background and, after having her first child two years ago, decided it was time to get back to work.

Carolyn said: “It is always a good time for a good business opportunity. We chose radiator cabinets as we want to be able to provide a personal service and a quality product while adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to people’s homes.

“More than ever in the current economic climate, we believe our customers are looking to invest in their homes in order to make them as stylish and comfortable as possible.”

Rebecca added: “As mother and daughter we have worked together previously and understand the highs and lows of working with family. Fortunately we have experienced many more highs than lows!”

Kingston Cabinets officially opens for business on March 14, and Rebecca says the company has already received a number of pre-orders.
