Fitting a bay window radiator cabinet

Each of the three sections of the cabinet will stand up by itself, so you can build them up separately (using the fixings provided in the kit) before you fit them in place against the walls. The angles will have been calculated to match the bay itself, so the sections should push together at the angles for a perfect fit.

Fitting around the radiator

The Designer will work out the size of the cabinet in order for it to fit around the radiator. If this would be too tall, you can opt to make the cabinet shorter, but you might have to do a bit of extra work to get it to fit around the radiator itself.

The blue areas in the drawings represent the inside walls of the cabinet, which aren't visible from outside. They can be cut away on site if you haven't got enough room for the radiator to pass underneath. (This might not be necessary if the radiators don't go right into the corners.)

Fixing in place

Back rails (in red) go underneath the tops next to the walls, and you can fix the cabinets to the wall through them. We recommend applying glue to the joins between each section, and also fixing the feet of the cabinets to the floor between each join.

If the bay walls aren't completely level then you may also need to use a bit of wood filler to cover gaps between the top boards and the walls.
