If you're gonna have a radiator cover, is it better to have a metal one or a wooden one? Thanks

    Since wood is a decent insulator, a metal cover will be warmer and thus radiate somewhat more energy than a wood cover. Both however will drastically reduce the amount of radiant energy compared to leaving the radiator uncovered.
