These are the recommended minimum tolerances that you should add to your radiator, however you may wish to have a deeper top shelf for placing ornaments. We find that we manufacture more cabinets with a top shelf depth of 16.5 cm - 18 cm (6.5 - 7 inches) for this reason. You may wish to take into account items such as unsightly phone and plug sockets, which may be covered up by ordering a wider cabinet.
Please remember that each cabinet is constructed to your specification and if you are in any doubt about your measurements, please telephone us as we cannot be held responsible for errors in measuring.
