Description by Rob and Martijn

Our old new apartment had old radiators that could not simply be replaced. In addition, two thick pipes ran through our new living room. We wanted to shield the radiators and down pipes. A frame was built from planed spruce. We made vertical uprights on this frame. We have made a small built-in cupboard on the left side. To access the radiator knobs, venting and radiator fans, we have mounted some uprights with magnets. We attached the other uprights with mounting kit. We made the cove that covers the down pipes with a wooden frame of planed pine. We ordered wood that has been mitered from TOSIZE.pl. This whole fits together nicely and is glued together. We painted the whole in the color Oxford Stone.
