Radiator Cabinets

[favemuppet]

I'm having trouble locating a radiator cabinet which will allow access to the rad valve (i.e I want it enclosed within the cabinet rather than sticking out of the side, but with some sort of side access).

Does any such thing exist or do I have to modify to a bog standard cabinet to incorporate some sort of door with a hinge?

The cabinet can be moved easily to access valve.No need for doors.

Not useful though if I want daily access, which is what I am after.....

Why would you need daily access.?

Why would you need daily access.?

To control the temperature? Sorry, it's a thermostatic rad valve to which I refer.

the trouble you will have is the valve will have to be set around 6 degrees higher and the time lag will be quite long as its within the cabinet so frequent adjustment will be very hit and miss

You can't use stats inside a cupboard as they will only control the internal temp of the cabinet.
Having said that they are stats so once set to a suitable temp should not require any adjustment on a daily basis.
