will this work on radiator poles? that heat up

Hello! Yes, Pole-Wrap can be installed as a decorative cover for the radiator steam pipe in your home. Start by partially enclosing your steam pipe with PVC. A white, 4 inch diameter PVC pipe can be used to quickly make this structure which serves three purposes: First, it provides an air space around the pipe and an opening to allow heat to escape and heat the room as designed. Secondly, air space prevents damaging heat from being transferred directly to the PVC and Pole-Wrap wood product. Lastly, the PVC enclosure will produce a 4 inch diameter finished column that is more visually pleasing than your existing narrow 2 inch diameter steam pipe. After cutting the overall length of the PVC to fit between your ceiling and floor, make two full length cuts spaced as wide as your steam pipe (about 2 inches apart). A regular table saw with a rip fence will allow you to make these cuts quickly and exactly. Next, position the housing so the opening faces the adjacent wall, and secure the top and bottom with a bead of construction adhesive where the PVC meets the ceiling and floor. You are now ready to install Pole-Wrap around your PVC housing leaving your 2 inch wide cut in back uncovered. This opening will not be noticeable since the steam pipe is likely very close to the adjacent wall. Use construction adhesive to glue the Wrap to the PVC, and also to fasten Pole-Wrap Cap & Base trim molding to ceiling and floor around housing for added anchoring. Apply two coats of clear polyurethane or paint to match your décor. For more information and helpful reference chart, visit our website at: www.polewrap.com
