TIE THE KID TO THE RADIATOR !

We got nice, custom-made metal radiator covers from National Metal Enclosures on Atlantic Avenue in East New York. You should be able to find their contact info online. They do wooden covers too. There were a couple issues with covers that had to be cut again to fit irregular window areas, so I can't say they were perfect, but they were professional and the price was reasonable.

thanks for the tip on gothic. i just called and they do make radiator covers. i'm going to go there this weekend and see what kind of prices they have.

i'm not looking for anything fancy, just something to get the job done.

Are you talking about the Gothic that was in the same building as Dagastino's? That's gone. They both moved out months ago.

This company appears to make wooden versions to order. They'll be in New York next week making house calls to take measurements on custom builds and offering 25% off some styles.

For what it's worth, kids only touch a hot radiator once. If you want them, go ahead, but like most child-proofing, they really are optional.

I just purchased a custom-made cabinet from Gothic. Very professional, no-nonsense guy. "Measure twice, pay once". Nice simple outfit. Sort of like "The Gap" for wood cabinets. Highly recommended.

We too will soon purchase a radiator cover for our newborn daughter.

I like the radioator cover in the picture to this blog. Where is it from?

Posted by: guest at January 3, 2008 10:32 PM

yeah - where's this pic from? I've done web searches on all the radiators, and I've only seen this kind with the vents on top from England.

Also interested in the Gothic cabinet rad covers b/c I have 5 month old that will start crawling in the near future. Can you share a little more info -- what size cover did you have made, type of wood and how much did you pay? thanks.

There's a place on west 10th st btw greenwich and 6th ave in greenwich village, don't know the name but they make very nice wooden radiator covers. Manhattan Cabinetry (B'way in the teens or 20s) also makes them but can be pricey. You could look at their floor models for ideas.
