Victorian Radiator Cover White 1425-1995mm x 235mm x 936mm – Screwfix
Cost model
What makes up the estimated cost?
TrueCost models the major components, manufacturing, assembly, packaging and landed costs required to produce the product.
MDF panels and structural board
Raw materialsCovers the main cabinet panels and adjustable sections. The 25.01kg product weight indicates a substantial MDF content, but bulk sheet purchasing and cut-panel waste keep the material cost below retail sheet pricing.
£12.00
26.7%
Decorative ventilation-slot sections
Physical componentsAllowance for the slotted or patterned grille areas and associated material loss. These may be integrated into MDF panels rather than separate components, so this is partly an allocation of material and processing cost.
£2.00
4.4%
White matt coating and consumables
Finishing materialsIncludes primer or sealer, white paint, thinner or cleaning consumables, masking and normal finishing loss for multiple MDF parts.
£4.50
10.0%
Fixings and mounting hardware
Physical componentsAllowance for screws, dowels, brackets, wall-hanging hardware and adjustment fittings supplied with a basic easy-assembly cabinet.
£2.00
4.4%
Panel cutting, routing and slot machining
Manufacturing processesCovers CNC or router work, drilling, edge preparation and production scrap associated with the adjustable width and cross-pattern ventilation design.
£5.00
11.1%
Assembly and production labour
Assembly labourAllowance for handling, inspection, fitting of hardware or subassemblies and preparing the unit for flat-pack shipment. Labour intensity is moderate but the item is large and has several finished panels.
£5.00
11.1%
Retail carton, protective packaging and labels
PackagingA 25kg, nearly two-metre-wide product needs a strong corrugated carton, corner protection, internal separators and protective wrapping to prevent paint and MDF edge damage.
£4.00
8.9%
Factory overhead directly attributable to production
Factory overheadAllocation for factory utilities, production supervision, equipment depreciation, quality control and handling directly associated with making the unit.
£3.00
6.7%
Inbound freight to UK distribution
FreightAllowance for consolidated international and domestic freight. The wide carton and 25kg gross shipment weight can create a higher dimensional-cost burden than the material value alone suggests.
£6.50
14.4%
Import duty and customs allowance
Import costsSmall provisional allowance for duty and customs-related landed cost. The origin and tariff classification were not supplied, so this figure is intentionally approximate.

Victorian Radiator Cover White 1425-1995mm x 235mm x 936mm – Screwfix
Screwfix identifies the exact product as item 194VU, lists it as unbranded, and gives a current normal UK selling price of £99.99 including VAT.
1425–1995mm x 936mm radiator covers – Screwfix category listing
Confirms the exact 194VU model, its adjustable width range, white MDF construction, matt finish and £99.99 including VAT price.
Victorian Radiator Cabinet White 1420 x 210 x 918mm – eBay UK product record
This is a different Screwfix Victorian radiator-cover size, not the exact 194VU model. It independently records MDF/fibreboard construction, white finish and easy assembly, providing limited supporting context for the broader product range but not proof of the exact model’s manufacturing details.

Model assumptions
8 assumptions

Model assumptions
8 assumptions
- The product is manufactured as a flat-pack or semi-flat-pack MDF cabinet, likely in a lower-cost manufacturing region, although the country of origin is not documented.
- The MDF panels, including adjustable side sections and slotted decorative panels, are estimated from typical bulk MDF pricing rather than retail sheet pricing.
- The paint system is assumed to be a basic white matt industrial coating, with no premium lacquer or unusually thick finish.
- Hardware is assumed to consist of standard screws, brackets, dowels, wall-fixing items and adjustment fittings; no specialized metal frame is assumed.
- Assembly labour includes panel preparation, machining, painting-related handling, hardware insertion and packing preparation.
- Freight assumes consolidated inbound shipment of a bulky 25kg carton to a UK distribution location. The range allows for variation in shipping rates and carton dimensional weight.
- Import duty is shown as a small allowance because the manufacturing country and applicable tariff classification are unknown. VAT, retailer margin, marketing, corporate overhead and profit are excluded.
- The best estimate is a costing view of landed supply cost, not a reconstruction from a teardown; exact MDF thickness, paint chemistry, supplier pricing and manufacturing location were not available.
