Beautiful lattices on radiators of heating. Decorative grilles for heating radiators

Wooden gratings are widely used in various interior solutions - as gratings for radiators, pergolas for garden structures, arbors, in the installation of decorative fences, and in the manufacture of furniture. We offer several typical types of beech and oak decorative gratings for various purposes.

Grids for batteries

Currently, decorative screens for heating radiators have firmly taken their place in the design of modern interiors. We specialize in the production of both ready-made battery screens on a turn-key basis, as well as the sale of accessories for the manufacture of screens, namely radiator grilles and framing profiles made of solid beech and oak.

In order to determine the width of the wooden lattice, it is necessary to measure the height of the desired screen. In this case, it should be taken into account that part of this distance will be covered either by a frame beam or additional elements, i.e. , if the height from the floor to the window sill, for example, is 800 mm, then taking into account the width of the frame beam of 55 mm, a 700 mm radiator grille will be enough. The decorative grilles offered by us can be easily cut to the required size using a conventional jigsaw. As a standard frame (and the cheapest option), we suggest using a frame bar in which the decorative grille is attached with nails or a thin plank.

To close the battery screens from the sides and from the top, we use a furniture board (oak and beech) thickness. 18 mm. As an alternative (cheaper) material, you can use a furniture board made of needles or plywood .

Garden pergolas

We produce pergolas of various sizes and sections of beech and oak bar. Pergolas - wooden lattices used in the manufacture of arbors, garden and summer cottages.

This page lists the main types, sizes and prices of decorative wooden gratings that we produce and which can be purchased from a warehouse in Moscow. You can find out about the cost of manufacturing screens in the section SERVICES - MANUFACTURING SCREENS

With a one-time purchase of more than 10 wooden gratings, there are discounts from 5%. We send wholesale prices for decorative wooden lattices on request.

The use of decorative wooden gratings: heating radiators, furniture facades, fences

The use of wooden grilles is not really limited to radiator screens. They look great as decorative wooden fences for cafes, bars, restaurants, in the manufacture of furniture, as various joinery made of wood, decorative interior elements. Interior arches made of wood using a small decorative lattice look very original and beautiful (because it bends very well). The same grating can also be used as door and window slopes and door trims.

To date, such an interesting and at the same time functional element of decor as a grill for a radiator can be found in many homes. Some mistakenly believe that such designs are gradually becoming a thing of the past, although for the most part, knowing all the functions and features, such an opinion can be easily refuted.

As the main advantages of this type of finish, it is fashionable to note:

the ability to hide flaws with a grid for radiators;
the ability to change the design without replacing the radiator itself, which will look great in the photo;
protection against burns and injuries;
prevents the formation of dust on the batteries, which increases the heat dissipation of the entire system.

It should also be noted that although the system itself is called a radiator grill for a battery, the overall design can be either lattice or shielding, on which various patterns or prints can be applied (read also: "").

As for the sizes, they can be both standardized and individual. The model and design are selected depending on the heating system itself. So, if the width of the battery is small, then you can use a flat screen. But in the case of masking the entire structure, it is necessary to purchase both the top and side patches.

Another important parameter when choosing a grid for radiators is the type of fastening. So, based on the direct model and condition of the radiator, the battery grill can be attached both to the wall and to the heating structure itself on specialized hooks. Such panels are easily dismantled, thereby providing quick access to the parts of the radiator itself, which is also convenient when cleaning and maintaining the entire system.

Material type

As for another important characteristic, the radiator grille for the battery can differ in the types of material from which the heating screens are made. They may vary depending on the conditions and type of environment.

Metal grids for batteries

This type of material is considered one of the most common. The convection grill for this type of battery is made of metal, the sheets of which are then perforated. This method allows you to create a unique design depending on the preferences of the customer. In public places or service premises, as a rule, classic panels are mounted. The frame itself is made of metal, and bars are attached to the frame, the size of which depends on the type of room in which the battery grille is installed (read also: "").

As for the main advantages of this type of grids, here we can note those that even a wooden grid for a battery cannot boast of:

good moisture resistance, which is especially important in case of strong condensation of adjacent floors;
the ability to be easily repainted in a variety of colors and textures, can even be closed;
unhindered and accessible care process;
is toxically harmless even in the case of a high degree of heating;
absolutely does not depend on the type of microclimate in the room;
high strength and resistance to deformation.

Wooden grids for batteries

This type of material will fit perfectly into almost any room, especially if it contains wooden interior items. In most cases, oak or beech is used as the main material. Moreover, wooden grids for batteries can be made from cherry, ash, or other types of wood.

However, when using this type of grating, you should pay attention to the fact that wood is not highly moisture resistant, so the use of wooden gratings in bathrooms and kitchens is not recommended.

Lattices from MDF boards

This type of material is in many cases several times stronger than the aforementioned wooden gratings. High environmental friendliness will also be an absolute plus, moreover, such gratings can be easily repainted and washed. However, the level of heat transfer is still lower than that of the above.

Plastic grids for batteries

This type of material is used quite rarely at present, mainly due to its low resistance to deformation. Moreover, plastic grids for batteries are also considered environmentally harmful, since when heated, polymeric substances are released into the room.

As for the average cost of gratings, depending on the material of manufacture, size and configuration, prices in Moscow range from 540 to 900 rubles. for MDF grilles, from 140 to 1650 rubles. for wood and from 320 to 650 for metal. You can buy these in almost any construction market or in a special building goods store.

How to install a grid on a battery

Of course, radiators or other heating structures are present in every home, therefore in some cases it will be more profitable to install such a structure on your own. Considering that cast iron is used as the material of the main system, the battery masking process can be quite neat and simple.

It should also be noted that a do-it-yourself battery grill made of wood will be the best option, since it is quite simple to purchase and process, and there is no need to purchase special equipment for installation.

How to make a grid on the battery, look at the video:

The whole process is as follows:

.First you need to measure the battery, including its width and length, the distance between the bottom of the battery and the floor, as well as between the front edge and the wall. Then you should determine the size of the allowance that will be required when installing the parts of the . You should also mark at least two points for attaching the screen to the floor and wall.
The next step is to decide on the material. If the do-it-yourself battery grill is made of wood, then wood is used for the frame, but the mesh is made of fabric tapes.
Then, we proceed to cutting out the parts of the required size, and we also process them well to minimize the destruction of the rock.
We assemble the frame from metal rails, which are fastened with self-tapping screws.
Then we fix the created frame structure in place.

Alternatively, a plastic mesh can be stretched so that the front is solid and wallpaper can be hung on it.

Grilles for heating radiators

Although heating radiators do an excellent job with their immediate functions of heating rooms in the cold season, they will not always look aesthetically pleasing, fitting into a sophisticated interior. That is why the owners of houses and apartments often resort to the use of elements such as grilles for heating radiators. Such gratings can not only update your interior, giving it new exquisite features, but also protect against hot metal, make it easier to care for heat sources in your home.

Currently, the market is simply filled with an incredible number of variations of grilles for heating radiators, so choosing the right one for yourself is not difficult. Let's figure out what grilles for radiators can be and how they differ from each other.

Variety of grilles for radiators

It should be noted right away that grilles for heating radiators should be not only attractive, but also resistant to prolonged exposure to high temperature conditions. After all, the heating season passes for quite a long time, all this time the gratings will come into contact with the heated metal of the batteries.

If we evaluate the heat resistance, then the materials will be as follows:

MDF. This is an imitation of wood, but the cost of such gratings is less. Decorative grilles for heating radiators made of MDF can be of various shapes, they look great, and different images can be applied to their plane.

Wood. Wooden gratings for heating radiators are usually made of precious woods, so such gratings are expensive. They go well with other interior items of the premises, suitable for almost any style. But under the influence of high temperatures from heating radiators, the tree can become deformed and dry out. Wood is an indicator of sophistication in the interior, in addition, such lattices will add comfort to your home.

Wooden grilles for heating radiators

Glass. Glass grids for radiators are included in the category of expensive ones. They are made of frosted or colored glass. You can also find gratings with a printed pattern. It is worth noting that the material is not very practical - after all, the glass may not withstand an accidental mechanical shock or prolonged pressure. It should be handled carefully and carefully so as not to break inadvertently.

Metal. Metal grilles for heating radiators are the most common, they are often used in domestic conditions. This is a practical and convenient option to hide batteries from prying eyes and decorate your interior with a stylish element.

certain types of plastic. Plastic grills for heating radiators are included in the category of budget products. Very often, such gratings are used in public spaces, in office buildings. And if the material is not of high quality, then when heated, such gratings can be dangerous to human health.

Flat grilles are usually placed on such radiators that are mounted in niches. Mounted - made with or without a lid. There are also pvc grilles for heating radiators in the form of a box - they are used if you want to completely close the heating elements and communications.

Why metal?

Metal grilles for heating radiators do not have any special design - however, they are very practical in all their variations. As a rule, such gratings are made of thin sheets of steel. They are powder coated for longer life.

Decorative grilles for stainless steel radiators do not require painting, as the material itself has good aesthetic characteristics.

Sometimes such material is perforated, resulting in a complex pattern. But such models will fit perfectly only into the interior, created in the style of hi-tech.

Metal grilles for heating radiators in high-tech style

So, metal grills for radiators have many advantages, which led to their wide distribution:

They do not need to be repaired or painted.
They will not interfere with heat transfer.
Made from materials that are safe for human health.
They are easy to put on.
From heating are not deformed.
If there is contamination, it is very easy to remove.

What affects the cost of battery grids?

Radiator grilles can help you save money. And if you have normal cast-iron batteries that give excellent heat dissipation, but have an unsightly appearance, then it is not necessary to remove them. It is enough just to purchase lattices for them - and they will be hidden under stylish interior elements that successfully complement it.

So, the cost of the lattice will be influenced by several factors:

Manufacturing material. Of course, a wooden product made from expensive fine wood will cost more than a plastic product.
Brand and trade mark. It is not worth arguing that if you have in front of you identical products made in Germany and China, then their cost will be completely different.

Dimensions of grilles for heating radiators. If you order a non-standard design, then the cost of such a product may be higher - even by 50%.

Decoration. If you order a product with figured legs, complex weaves, beautiful edging, then it will cost more than standard lattices.
Structural features. Flat gratings will be cheaper than closed boxes.
Color and staining method. When ordering expensive exclusive variations such as "under the tree", "under the gold", etc. the cost of such products will be slightly higher than just white powder coating.

Decorative grilles, as seen in the photo, in any design can complete your interior. The design of the room will no longer be spoiled by sometimes completely unsightly cast-iron heating radiators. In addition, the owners of the premises will like not only the design task of the batteries, but also the ease of care for them - after all, you will no longer have to paint the batteries, and sometimes this is difficult to do because of the design of heating radiators.

The battery today as part of the heating system is a common and standard phenomenon for any room. This is due to the need and practicality of use. There is no doubt that it is convenient and functional, 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. To do this, you need a heating radiator screen. A truly universal solution that, without drastic measures and colossal budget spending, helps to turn the situation in your favor. To the attention of buyers are offered all kinds of designs, shapes and materials of screens, which allows you to choose the most suitable solutions for a particular situation.

Purpose of screens: why is it needed at all?

Decorative screen on the 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!

Protective screens for batteries have two basic purposes at the same time:

1. Protection, as the name suggests. Often there are radiators with rather sharp corners, which can cause accidental injury in adults and especially in children. Most 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 if the screen takes the blow, as it is easier and cheaper to replace than the entire battery.

2.Improve 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 battery screen, you can hide all these shortcomings 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).

Types of screens for radiators: choose the best option for you!

Before you buy a protective screen for a battery, which can be done in the catalog of our online store, you should understand 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, the screens are of the following types:

Metal. You can order a design of any color and design. There is an option to install a forged grate or stainless steel, 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, so the disadvantages include the too simple appearance of the most budget 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 among the most common. Most of them are environmentally friendly products and safe for the health of people and pets. The design and color options are very diverse. 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 extend the service life by several times.

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

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

Glass. Protection for glass radiators has the most attractive appearance. Good tempered glass is used in the production process, so the price will be higher if we compare, for example, SS with the previous representative. Drawings can be applied to the glass panel. Such screens are the easiest to clean and do not require any special care.

Whatever decorative battery screen you decide to buy, it will not only hide all the flaws and the unattractive appearance of the radiator, but can also decorate the interior of the room. A huge range of variations of decorative railings for radiators in our catalog will allow you to fit them into almost any interior solution without huge material costs.

Not always the appearance of radiators or batteries meets aesthetic requirements. Simply painting the surface does not solve the global design problem. To give the interior harmony, grilles are installed for radiators and radiators: decorative, wooden, plastic. But their function is not limited to improving the appearance.

Purpose of grilles for radiators

The decorative panel on the heating radiator (battery) is designed to hide its surface. Their installation should not affect the performance of the system elements. At the same time, decorative grilles on heating radiators perform a protective function. Their surface temperature is much lower than heating devices.

To perform these tasks, the design must ensure normal air circulation around the heater. Also, a prerequisite is simple dismantling for prompt repairs or maintenance work. Therefore, before making decorative grilles for heating radiators with your own hands, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of factory designs:

The dimensions of the panel should exceed the dimensions of the battery by 10-15 mm, depending on the shape of the latter;
After installation, the distance between the surface of the radiator and the protective screen is at least 20-25 mm. This is necessary to create convection currents;
Metal or wooden grilles for heating radiators have a cellular surface for frontal and lateral airflow to the battery.

One of the key points is the minimum contact area of the hinged structure with the heating element. This is necessary to minimize heat losses and slight heating of the grating surface.

Regardless of the model chosen, whether it is metal grills for heating radiators, wooden or plastic - during the heating process, they should not emit harmful elements or unpleasant odors.

Types of lattice structures

What parameters affect panel selection? The dimensions of the battery and its position in the wall opening are decisive. Most often, it is installed in a special niche, the upper part of which is a window sill. If it is necessary to close this entire area, the dimensions of the grille for heating radiators are selected based on the dimensions of the mounting recess in the wall.

In this case, the front grille of the heating radiator is installed with your own hands. This is one of the simplest designs, as it can be attached to both the battery and the wall.

The ability to choose the type of mounting units greatly facilitates the independent production of the panel.

In addition, they make such grids for heating batteries with their own hands:

Hinged, without side panels. Are established directly on the top plane of the battery;
Mounted, with top cover. They can close the design of the heating element not only from the front, but also from above. Relevant if the battery protrudes slightly due to the plane of the wall;
box. The installation of these decorative grilles on heating radiators completely hides the structure.

In addition to the aesthetic component, the complete closure of radiators is recommended in the children's room. It is obligatory to install metal gratings on heating radiators in public buildings - children's hospitals, schools, sports halls.

The upper part of the decorative grille should protrude beyond the edge of the window sill by at least 2/3 of its depth. This is necessary for normal air convection.

Choosing the material for making the grate

The manufacture of decorative grilles for heating radiators with your own hands must begin with the choice of material. It must withstand high temperatures without emitting harmful fumes. An important point is the preservation of the shape and original appearance.

Can plastic grills be used for heating radiators or are steel and wood models the only alternative? To resolve this issue, you should find out the properties of each type of material of manufacture and their operational features.

Steel grilles for radiators

This is the most common type of panels, since manufacturing is possible in various ways. Most often, they make a steel grate for a heating radiator with their own hands of a frame type. To do this, you can use "black" metal or galvanized. Stainless steel structures are mainly factory-made.

In addition to the size of the grilles for heating radiators, you need to pay attention to the way the body is painted. The best option is powder technology (baking). Such a protective-decorative layer does not change its shade during high-temperature operation of the system. In addition, the selected panel must have the following properties:

Ventilation openings on the front and side parts;
The optimum steel thickness is 0.8-1 mm;
After installation, it will provide free access to all elements of the radiator piping - Mayevsky's tap, thermostat, shutoff valves.

To make such a lattice for a heating battery with your own hands, you will need a welding machine. It is best to use an inverter, as it can work with thin-walled metal.

For self-painting, you need to use only special heat-resistant enamel or paint.

Wooden grilles for radiators

The most aesthetic appearance of the room is given by wooden grilles for radiators. For their manufacture, it is necessary to take special varieties of trees that do not emit resin under the influence of temperature.

It is not recommended to make a panel from MDF or chipboard. Adhesive compounds are used in the production of these materials. Even if they are neutral to high thermal effects, there is a high probability of surface deformation. This is due to the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the adhesive layer. Subsequently, this can lead to delamination of the panel.

The best option is to use deciduous trees. Dry the workpiece first to reduce moisture. This figure should not exceed 12-15%. Then you should do the following:

Antibacterial treatment. Protection against the appearance of mold and microorganisms in wood fibers;
Manufacturing of structural elements and assembly;
Paint coating.

All these actions for assembling decorative panels on heating radiators must be performed in a room with a temperature of 18 to 25 ° C and normal humidity. There must also be proper ventilation.

Plastic grilles for radiators

For the manufacture of plastic gratings for heating radiators, PVC-based compounds are most often used. With the right plastic manufacturing technology, the product can withstand temperatures up to 95 ° C without losing its appearance.

It is impossible to make such models of decorative grilles for radiators on your own. An alternative is to purchase factory panels. The main selection options are as follows:

The plastic must be colored in bulk. The presence of a laminating film on the surface is unacceptable;
Plastic must not be flammable. Under the influence of an open flame, it melts, not supporting the combustion process. Similar compositions are used for the manufacture of PVC profiles for window structures;
Unlike metal gratings for radiators, plastic models do not have good mechanical strength. This must be taken into account when choosing panels for a nursery or gym.

The advantage of plastic panels is their low cost and variety of shapes. But at the same time, they lose their original appearance the fastest, compared to metal or wooden grilles for heating radiators.

Harmful substances from PVC are emitted only during smoldering or burning (temperature about 220 ° C). If an unpleasant odor appears during the operation of the plastic grill, it is possible that the film burns out or the wrong material was originally chosen.

Do-it-yourself grilles for radiators

The optimal material for making a decorative panel at home is metal. For this, you can use a galvanized steel sheet and corners 15 * 15 mm. But first you need to choose the dimensions of the grille for heating radiators.

The dimensions of the structure depend on the type of lattice chosen, which was mentioned above. Therefore, you must first measure the battery and add 10-15 mm in height and width to the data obtained.

Regardless of the material chosen, the general manufacturing scheme should consist of the following steps:

Measurement of the battery and drawing up a design drawing;
Making corners and forming a frame;
Installation of the lattice in the resulting structure;
Installation of support nodes that will be in contact with the surface of the radiator.
