Electric Storage Heaters
Right, yes I know, it's a saxo/clio forum.
But need some advice.
Electric Storage heaters...
can I cover them with a normal radiator cover?
as they do apparently get quite hot.
Ta.

The ones in my house at uni never got hot they were crap. Although most of that place didnt work fully.
I would expect they need some form of ventillation more than a normal radiator looking at the way they were in my old place.

It's fine mate. I used to sell them at work and got asked this all the time. Rad's can get very hot too.

What Ryan said about the ventilation is right, but most radiator covers have vent's anyway.

I'd pay that if it was a choice between freezing or not. Men look funny with stiff nipples lol.
