Greetings.. I'm making some radiator covers out of 1/2" pine boards. Plan is to rout 1 inch vents in the top and have an open front covered with decorative perforated sheet metal. The question is: Should I do anything to the wood to protect it from the heat generated by the radiators? I was thinking of lining the whole inside with with thick tin foil to reflect heat and force is out the top vents.
Stupid idea?
