Professional radiator guard fitting - covers to protect children from hot radiators. Still heats the room, but little ones can't burn themselves.
### Radiators Get Hot
Really hot. **Hot enough to burn in seconds.** Children touch things. A radiator guard creates a barrier between curious hands and burning surfaces.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Check your radiator temperature. Modern condensing boilers often run cooler. Older systems can be scalding. Guards are more important for hot systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radiator guard fitting in Tiverton
Do radiator guards affect heating?
Properly designed guards allow heat to circulate - they have vents and gaps for airflow. You might lose a small percentage of efficiency, but nothing significant.
What types of guard work?
Mesh guards, wooden covers with ventilation, magnetic covers for some radiators. We'll advise on what suits your radiator type and safety needs.
Can children climb on radiator covers?
Wall-fixed covers are more secure. Freestanding covers can be pulled. For active climbers, secure fixing is important.
Are all radiators dangerous?
Hot ones are. Some modern systems run at lower temperatures. Old systems can get scalding hot. If you're unsure, a guard is sensible precaution.
