Steam Radiator Pipes HELP HELP

May 26, 2007 11 Replies

I am interested in various solutions other than painting , in covering these pipes.



They are somewhat intrusive ...coming out of nowhere and usually sitting in the



middle of the room for all to see. it seems no matter what paint, one uses it seems



to chip off and i was wondering if there is anything more decorative. Ive seen



insulated solutions...what are thes called and where can i get them...someone



suggested just tying rope around the entire pipe, but I'm worried it'll burn...



please help...this is one of my projects this week, and i really want to finish it



before winter comes and the pipes get too hot to handle. thanks!



Rip them all out and change over to forced air..... no more steam pipes.

You must keep painting them white to match the elephant sitting on the couch along side the 400 lb. gorilla.

Use some old foil back wall paper or just use your left-over Christmas wrapping paper. A pretty bow at the corner would look just dandy. Save the rope to put around your neck, tie it to a bridge and ...JUMP! Bubba

Rip out the steam and use a heat exchanger ... and do radiant floor heat. Pipes gone and heat under the floor

Did I mention that they kept sending me to school so they couldn't call me a dumbass no more??

Maybe you can find the answer you seek from alt.home.repair or maybe HGTV, or maybe somebody that cares (good luck)

Ron, Speaking of assholes which you have truely made of yourself.......... You sound like one of those stupid assholes that was charged $100 to change a filter because you were too stupid of an asshole to know how to change it yourself. Life must suck to be you. Bubba

What really sucks is that he is too ignorant to figure out that he can go to the local ACE Hardware and ask somebody the same question and get a reasonable answer.

Yes there is some PVC white raping made specialy for what you want but I am sorry I am unable to tell you where can you go look for it you can try some people that do Liquid Nitrogen installations or construction people doing steam line insulations. I have used material myself but I have never both the material myself. Tony
