Radiator pipe covers

carly

I've just had an anthracite coloured  radiator fitted in my bathroom.  I didn't check beforehand  ( my error ) and the pipes from the floor to the radiator are copper not like the chrome ones that were on existing  chrome finished radiator.   Are there any anthracrite covers which would hide these pipes?   My problem is that the pipes are right angled and I can only find straight anthracite covers.

Bought anthractite collars from t'Bay to cover where the pipes come through the wall, and had a test-pot of satin paint in RAL 7016 (anthracite) made up to paint the pipes.

I think the issue is that the pipes have elbows in them. 
Paint will do the job - not as smooth as covers, of course, but in truth you shouldn't notice.

Yes, it's the elbows causing the problem.  I think perhaps I'll paint them.

Ok, I know it's only a teeny bit of pipe, but the point is that no-one looks down there :-)

Nice job on the skirting TIW.

Thanks, Stu.

I let the joiner do them   (Mil was paying...)

My sole contribution to that extension were the rads

What's that? "Nice pipes!"? Cheers
