Any cover you put on the storage heaters would insulate them from the air in the room and defeat the design idea that they should radiate heat during the day.

The other point is that you can't just replace them with electric radiators - Storage heaters use power at night to get hot and in theory they stay hot and release the heat during the day. the switching on at night and off during the day is done automatically at the meter and if you put electric radiators and connect them to the same circuit as the storage heaters used then they will also be on at night and off during the day. You would either have to get new circuits wired for the electric radiators or get the storage heater circuits modified to be suitable for that purpose.
