So I had these installed a few years back in my bedroom as a sample before making a large purchase for the living area and they looked nice during the summer but when it came to heating in the winter I noticed that my water pump for my bedroom is always running. Checked the thermostat settings and everything looked good. Checked the airflow on the baseboard and it wasn't there. Well it turns out that this specific style cuts slow down the airflow of the baseboard dramatically. So in other words the baseboard is HOT 🔥 all the time but without the airflow it struggles to heat up the area. So I remove the covers in the winter and place them back on in the summer for the look. As for the living area I still have the original baseboard with out the covers. I'd recommend trying something else unless you want to double or triple your heating cost.

This is exactly what I imagined. How could it not block the airflow? A contractor just installed these on my old ones because I asked them to repaint the old ones, and they didn't tell me they were doing this instead. They look nice, but it alarmed me. This area gets very cold winters.

repainting seems a lot cheaper, but both solutions would work

@homeownerhelper 2 жыл бұрын

Repainting is absolutely cheaper. Covers are quicker and, if your covers are rusty and dented, might look better. Everyone's situation is different. This is just one of many options.

Really wish this stuff was more affordable. Last quote (materials only) was still $20 per foot. It's actually higher because joiners, corners, and end caps are outrageous. A smalI-ish 3 bedroom can have 100 ft, so your looking at over 2k for a cosmetic upgrade. That's if you do it all yourself. If you are doing remove/install anyway, sand the old ones and paint them and put them back.

Just bought my first house and the baseboards have decent amount of grime/dirt/rust. Heard about these covers through the grapevine. Stopped by home depot and these suckers cost as much as a fresh install. Contemplating looking up how to remove and install these things myself. It doesnt appear to be too hard but ofc looms can definitely be deceiving

I've found a couple of links to DIY wood covers for baseboard heaters that look pretty simple. Some people might wonder if wood covers would be combustible, they're apparently not as long as you follow guidelines. Old article in fine homebuilding gives good guidelines.

@shaneord7527 Жыл бұрын

You want zintec covering, bare zintec will rust on the cut edges on raw metal. I've had samples sat outside for 5 years (in UK) with surface rust on just cut edges with noo rust. These look quite cheap though. Can't cut through our stuff with tin snips.

You can purchase them in either 4' or 6' lengths. You will need to cut either way. You can purchase a pair of snips from your local hardware store for less than 20$. 5$ if you go to Harbor Freight. Hope that helps!

NeatHeat covers are melt proof until about 450⁰. You should be good but there should be a little wiggle room to make sure you aren't touching the pipe on the end.

These covers solved a few problems for me First there were no front covers. second the fins were really messed up. I had no idea how to get the old metal ones off and with these you don't have too!! also when I checked the cost to replace with metal covers the cost doubled so it's easy cost effective and definitely a DIY project.
