If there are small children in the house
The heating radiator becomes a potentially dangerous object if there are small children in the apartment. In the midst of the heating season, the temperature of the batteries can reach 90 degrees. If you touch a hot radiator, you can get serious burns. It is for this reason that special screens were invented. Such a device prevents direct contact with the battery, has a beautiful design, hides an unattractive radiator and plays a decorative role in the interior..

Small console screen
Some do not just stop at the screen, but make whole pieces of furniture art. With good ingenuity and the presence of carpentry skills, you can make a whole rack or an impromptu console instead of a decorative screen. Such options are especially relevant for small spaces where functional furniture is worth its weight in gold..

4. Successful camouflage
It is not necessary to use the screen to mask the battery. It is enough to choose paint to match the walls and paint the battery with it. A more interesting option: paint the bottom of the walls in a bold shade, and leave the top white. Alkyd and acrylic enamels, as well as water-based paints are ideal for these purposes. When buying, you need to carefully read the label. There should be a note that the coating is intended for painting radiators.
