Match your pipe collars to your flooring with the Ali Pipe Covers
Hide unsightly gaps around radiator pipes
Each Ali Pipe Cover comprises two interlocking sections which join together around a 15mm radiator pipe. Simply cut to size and insert pieces of your flooring into each half.
These radiator pipe collars come in a choice of six recess depths (height) to cater for a variety of thicknesses of floorcoverings, including luxury vinyl tiles (click and dryback), rigid tiles SPC/WPC (composites), laminate and some engineered wood flooring. Choose the most suitable for your flooring: 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, or 15mm.
Likewise, the design of the Ali Pipe Covers allows for the natural expansion and contraction of flooring (if required).
The outer edge of each pipe collar comes in a choice of four metal finishes: black, antique, brass, chrome and are manufactured from aluminium.
