Where does the radiator pipe come from in the dining room?

What’s the best way to cover radiator pipes?

What kind of pipe does a steam radiator have?

Steam radiators have 1 pipe. The steam rises and heats the radiators to a quite high temperature.

Some steam is lost through the vents, and generally steam boilers need to be re filled.

Do you need a radiator in a dining room?
