In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are framed by a rectangular border (unlike the square frames common in other countries), which significantly eases paving work around the cover .

No colored covers were found in Finland, but gilded covers do exist .

City emblems often appear on the covers .

Water covers typically bear words related to water, such as PALOPOSTI (fire hydrant) . A logo indicating district heating often appears on gas covers , or the word LÄMPÖ (heating) .

Manufacturers
The covers are produced by local manufacturers such as Niemisen Valimo , Jupalco , and Uponor , as well as by the Norwegian company Ulefos NV and other foreign manufacturers.

Standards
The international EN124 standard and the load class D400 are commonly used by local manufacturers and, naturally, by foreign producers as well.
Other standards from different countries can also be found, such as the British Kitemark and others.
