Brass Radiator Grill

[BradNaylor]

I've got to make four radiator covers for a client who has specified this grill on the front of them.

I have found a couple of firms on th'internet who offer it but the prices seem geared to retail punters.

Where does the trade go? Any ideas?

Cheers
Dan

Try Beardmore's

Or Just Grilles

Either way its not cheap, last woven mesh I had from just grilles was £800 for two rads and that was a couple of yrs ago

Does nopt look like what Dan is after.

He wants a fine brass mesh with the diamond overlay and rosettes, these are usually custom made to the required sizes/finishes.

If you find a cheap source, post it up, I have always had these custom made, like JasonB is saying.
Cost an arm and a leg, by the time you put a mark up on it.
I find when I use this stuff I have to make the rad cases a work of art as well to justify the brass stuff.
Are they happy to spend a couple of grand on a rad case?

 

[BradNaylor]

I'm getting just under 3 grand for 4 rad covers.

I thought I was cleaning up, but it looks like I'm just going to make wages!



Th one I found and dismissed as too dear might end up being the best bet...

I'm having the same problem.... Finding a realistic price seems an uphill struggle. Think I'll buy some chicken wire and spray it gold.
