ᐅ What solutions have you implemented in the area behind the radiators?

Hello,

we are planning a heating system renovation in our older house, which we bought as a used property. The previous owners wallpapered behind the old radiators, so today it is no longer possible to access that area without completely removing each radiator. Now I would like to take the opportunity to install a long-lasting solution behind the radiators.

How have you dealt with this issue?

After all, wallpapering probably happens more often than replacing radiators.

If I have posted in the wrong forum, please feel free to move this.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards

There was wallpaper behind the radiator before as well. However, it became very dry over time and no longer looked good. When installing the new radiator, I took the opportunity to remove the old wallpaper. I then painted that part of the wall with oil-based paint. It looks good and will last for quite some time now.

That’s a good idea, Roman, because our wallpaper doesn’t look nice there anymore either. After the winter, we will upgrade the heating system and install new radiators. Then I will also design it that way.
