Covers for radiators

Are there any easy quick sticky covers to put on top of radiators in other rooms. This is a shelf over hall radiator and it seems to send heat outwards nicely. Want to get around wood and screws etc

Although they are called "radiators", they are also convectors. Blocking the top like this restricts airflow and greatly reduces their performance/efficiency.Signature on holiday for two weeks0

Screws are going to do the least damage long-term
The range does them

And as Mutt-Geo says, take care to leave a good clear gap between it and the top of the rad. See the review on that linked page.fatbelly said:Screws are going to do the least damage long-term
