Stainless steel radiator grills

This is a bright silver finish, suited to more contemporary homes with stainless steel or chrome fittings.

If you have the wire reeded this takes some of the shine off. (The reed is the line you see at the edge of the wire.)

Aluminium radiator grills

This is a matt silver finish, suited to more contemporary homes with brushed stainless steel fittings.
