radiator cover materials
I got a plan for radiator covers from doityourself.com but I am not sure where to purchase the decorative screen that goes on the boxes (covers). There is a salvage yard that carries them but I would like to save the hassle and buy them new. Where can I get my hands on some metal screen? Is it expensive? Somebody manufactures it because the radiator cover manufacturers get it from somewhere. Thanks, gretchen Rockler carries decorative mesh and woven brass, intended in their mind for cabinet doors. It would work equally well in your application. Look them over at http://www.rockler.com They offer a free catalog of their complete line. Hi, I don't know what the size of your cabinet is going to be. I have seen in hardware stores displays of decoratively perforated sheet metal, maybe 30 x 30 or 36 x 36. Here is a site you can get some info from. www.mcmaster-carr.com In the products tab search box type in perforated metal Click on the find button....it takes a few seconds to bring up the list. when it appears, scroll down to ....perforated metal and click on it. A page will appear...perforated metal. Go over and click on the heading metal and thermoplastic perforated sheets. This will bring up the said sheet, and you will see an oval ...catalog pages, click on it. Appearing now is an informative sheet for you. If you want the screen just do the same procedure. Most of the radiator screens I've seen have used the perforated sheet. You can also try.....expanded metal. Another suggestion is to ask some metal suppliers around your area. They might be able to help you out in some way. good luck, Trent You can buy the decorative aluminum metal panels at Home Depot. I just made some radiator covers last week. They come in various designs in brass and silver. They are around $15 for a 3'x3' sheet. good luck, toolbelt I plan to build a few covers but these aluminum panels have gotten ridiculously expensive. I built one for an out of the way area with 1/4 hardware cloth painted white but I'm not crazy about the look. 1/8 might look better but it's not locally available. Any other reasonably priced ideas for screen material?
