Behind radiator ?

[opettersson]

If you don't want to put fiberglass wallpaper and paint behind your radiators, what are some alternatives that are good and look good?

Only paint?
Wallpaper?

...or what do you mean?

 

[opettersson]

I was wondering what is easier, painting or putting up some kind of board....

 

[Rostig_9000i_-88]

Is it new construction or renovation?

Is it electric or water-based radiators?

What is the reason you don't want to put fiberglass fabric, if you are considering putting up a board...are you allergic to fiberglass?

What is the reason you don't want to put fiberglass mesh if you're considering putting a board...are you allergic to fiberglass?

No, not me, but my children... why?
If I don't want to put fiberglass mesh, it's up to me, right?

Is it new construction or renovation?

Is it electric or waterborne radiators?

It is renovation and waterborne radiators!

You probably need to remove the radiators to access them. It usually works by tightening the throttle valve at the bottom and the regular heat valve at the top. Then you can remove the radiator. Keep in mind that it's full of water!

Note the word "brukar". I have experienced strypventiler that were not watertight in the slightest. Not fun when you're holding a 50 kg heavy element in your hands and water cascades out of the valve. Safest to empty the system first...

 

[anaitis]

That's probably true, I've probably been lucky so far!

What other wall covering do you have?
And what wall covering do you have behind the radiator today?

Maybe a picture so we can help you a little easier?
