Precision
An eighth of an inch is the difference between furniture and a problem. We treat your numbers as the specification they are.
Our story
We built the third option
Steamline is named for the steam heat that warms pre-war buildings — and for a design process with nothing extra in it.
We got tired of choosing between a $700 quote-by-phone carpenter and a wobbly flat-pack with no instructions. So we built the third option.
The first cover was for a rental in a 1912 building in Brooklyn, where the radiator in the bedroom was 61 and a half inches wide and every cover for sale was 60 or 72. Two weekends and one borrowed table saw later, we had something that fit — and a very long list of things we would do differently.
That list became the company. Cut to the 1/8 inch. Ship flat so it fits through a pre-war door. Print instructions a normal person can follow. Tell people the truth about ventilation instead of selling a sealed box with a slot in it.
Today we build in the USA for homes in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington DC — mostly buildings older than anyone living in them.
What we care about
Honesty
If a cover is wrong for your radiator, we say so. No countdown timers, no invented discounts, no vague lead times.
Pre-war soul
Plaster, picture rails, herringbone floors. Our proportions are drawn to belong in those rooms, not to stand out in a catalog.
Your radiator called. It wants to look better.
Two minutes in the configurator and you'll know your exact price.
