I'm in the middle of a complete reno of an old home and my client balked at the quote my contractor gave him for custom built radiator covers ($6500 for 8!!!!). Can anyone recommend a North American manufacturer, or perhaps a cheaper contractor in the Toronto area? My client doesn't want to replace his entire heating system but I can't stand the look of his ugly old rads. Any help is appreciated!

Hi.
These sound like just simple rad covers.
Provided there are no special design, finish or installation considerations, I could produce 8 fitted. paint ready rad covers for considerably less than your contractors quote.
I work in the North Toronto area and would be happy to take a look.
Please let me know if you would like an on-site quote.
Thanks.
