Belrad Flat Front Panel Radiator 500x1200 mm – Magnetic Radiator Cover – White

A flat front panel for your radiator is the quickest way to give an ageing panel radiator a clean, modern face without replacing the entire unit. This Belrad front panel in white (RAL 9016) measures 500 x 1200 mm, making it suitable for mid-sized panel radiators in living rooms, hallways, kitchens or offices. It is strictly a separate front panel, not an enclosure: the top and sides of the radiator remain open.

Specifications

Is this product right for your situation?

This front panel only works if your existing panel radiator has an external dimension of 500 mm high by 1200 mm wide. Measure the external dimensions of your radiator before ordering: the panel covers the visible face but does not overlap the edges. The white RAL 9016 finish matches the vast majority of standard white panel radiators and coordinates with white walls and skirting boards.

This product is not suitable as a radiator enclosure or cover cabinet: the sides and top remain visible. If you wish to conceal the radiator entirely, you will need a different solution. You can combine this front panel with other radiator accessories for a fully finished installation.

Installation and use

Before fitting, check that the magnetic fixing is compatible with the steel type of your radiator: the panel attaches magnetically, and this only works on radiators with a steel front plate. A common mistake is fitting it to an aluminium radiator, where the magnets will not grip. Also ensure the front surface of the radiator is clean and free of grease, otherwise adhesion will be reduced.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a flat front panel and a radiator enclosure?

A flat front panel covers only the visible face at the front. A radiator enclosure surrounds the radiator on all sides, including the top and sides. With this Belrad front panel, the top and sides of the radiator remain open, so heat output is not impeded.

Does this front panel fit every 500x1200 mm panel radiator?

The front panel is designed for panel radiators with a steel front plate and external dimensions of 500 mm high by 1200 mm wide. The magnetic fixing does not work on aluminium radiators. If you are unsure about the size or material of your radiator, measure up before ordering.

Does fitting the front panel affect heat output?

Because the top and sides remain open, the radiator releases its heat virtually unimpeded. Only the front surface is covered, which in practice has a negligible effect on capacity. Do ensure the front panel sits flush and flat, so that no air gap forms between the panel and the radiator.
