Ways to Decorate Around a Wall Mount Gas Heater?

  • Wall-mounted gas heaters are commonly found in older homes, businesses and apartments. In the days before central heating, these devices were the only way to heat a space. The problem is that the heaters aren't very attractive and stick out like sore thumbs. Replacing the heater is an expensive and tricky prospect that requires a complete overhaul of the heating system. However, decorating around a heater can hide it and make it blend into the room's decor.

  • Answer:

    the materials to decorate around a wall mount heater must be nonflammable. these heaters radiate a lot of heat. possible options are quarry tile , glazed tile , faux brick , marble , granite. these stones will not be damaged by heat and will further absorb and radiate heat. consider painting the heater with high temperature barbecue grill paint. this paint is not damaged by heat. this comes in flat black in color and would blend in with dark tile or faux brick. the design of the surrounding tile or brick becomes the focal point and not just the heater.

One of the simplest and easiest ways to hide a wall mount heater is to paint it. Choose a color that matches the color of the walls or matches other decorative elements in the room. Always use a heat resistant paint that won't chip or melt when the heater is turned on. Alternately, you can turn the wall mounted heater into a decorative element of the room. Paint it a bright color and add a fake frame to the wall surrounding it. Use a frame or wood trim around the top and sides of the heater

Depending on the location of the heaters, you could cover it with a fireplace front (you can find them in antique shops) or build one. You didn't say how high it is but you might be able to put a table in front of it and use lamps, books, or decorative table items to cover it up. How about a screen in front of it? Hope this helps.
