Wrap around chrome sheeting for pipes... Help!

hieveryone

Hi all,

Looking for some help on something that is driving me crazy!

We have a towel radiator which has exposed copper pipes at the bottom where it joins the supply (as is the norm).

When we moved into this house, the copper pipes were covered by a chrome 'wrap around' type material, a bit thicker than paper but not quite plastic. It was flexible and could be straightened out but when you let go of it it went back into a circle shape.

Stupidly, we threw these out when we were re-decorating and now for the life of us we cannot find them again - anyone know what I am talking about??

Thanks

I think they're called/made by Radsnaps - like these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RADSNAPS-2-x-CHROME-RADIATOR-PIPE-COVERS-/190515849619?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&hash=item2c5ba12993

they are a common item sold in all DIY outlets (B&Q, Homebase etc) they are supplied quite long and you just cut them to size.

As above and just bought some at Leylands.

Thank you all - I think this is what I am looking for! We have bought ones from BnQ that are solid plastic with no flexibility at all which aren't what we wanted.

Will try the links, thanks

Thank you - should have said I'm in Scotland so don't have some of these shops.
