Product Highlights
Description
NOTE: For Hydronic Baseboards
- Made of 22 gauge perforate steel.
- Features TWO separate layers of protection against rust: an electroplated galvanized coating over the carbon steel and an epoxy-based powder coat in semi-gloss white.
- Designed to retrofit on to most existing baseboard heater covers.
- Superior Airflow... Airflow is the critical factor in proper baseboard heating. We use a perforated steel screen that visually hides the originally installed heater cover while ensuring that the heating element receives proper airflow.
- Child Safe... The dangers associated with hot finned tube heating elements are well known. Our child safe design doesn't allow for little fingers or small flammable toys to be placed inside the heater cover.
- Simple to Install... It just doesn't get any easier. Only the non-permanent components of the existing heater cover are discarded. The back cover that is mechanically fastened to the wall stays in place.

Product Q&A
36 QuestionsQ: I have two bathrooms that have the baseboard heat right next to the toilets. The problem is that it seems that when men use the bathroom there is always a " urine spray/splash " that occurs and rusts the heater covers. How do I prevent this without redoing the bathroom ? Are there good looking plastic or molded covers? Thank you.

Cheech, The 5' DIY Baseboard Heater Cover is perfect. It fits right over the existing baseboard cover. Just open the box & slide it on & your done. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
I have used metal replacement covers in two bathrooms where the originals had rusted. They are white in color, install easily and look great. They are sold by PexSupply.com.
In reality the rusting of the covers occurs from the humidity which rises during showers. I have the same condition but the heaters are opposite the toilets, no spray! Paint the heaters and always use the exhaust fan to control moisture, mold, rust etc, or replace with DIY baseboard heater covers.
Q: can this be used for electric baseboard heater. I saw somewhere on the site that you need brackets for this. If so where do you get them?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThese covers can be used with electric heaters. Please see the link below for more information. The wall brackets are part WB001. http://www.baseboardheatercovers.com/electric.html
I can help you. I had regular baseboard heaters and wanted child proof. But never installed the expensive covers from pexsupply because some heaters I cover by furniture, and others I teach my baby not to touch. I think you can get brakets from Home Depot or other hardware store. Just buy one cover first to try it out.
Q: We ordered a cover and it didn't fit for us. We like the perforated material though, is it possible to order custom covers with that same material?

Yes I used a tin snips to cut the material , its a little bit of work but take your time to cut as straight as you can ( the end cover will hide any rough edges anyway. Also use gloves as the cut end can be sharp. I have used these covers on almost all of my baseboard radiators, they look great and will not rust, even if used in the bathroom, have had for over 3 yrs now and they look brand new. You can use a plyers after the cut to even out the edge. Brian
If by custom, you mean ordering a certain length that is not offered, I don't think so. I think I asked Pex Supply the same thing. But it is very easy to purchase a pair of heavy duty shears to cut the covers to fit your size. That is what I did for lengths that were smaller than what was available and it worked just fine.
Q: I just installed new 4ft Cadet baseboard heaters and they work great, but I have safety and fire concernes because I have small children and you can put your fingers or objects up agains the coils. Will this product fit over the Cadet heaters?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThese covers are excellent for protecting small children from the hot element, as they make the element inaccessible. The covers fit over most standard elements, but you can refer to the link below for more specific sizing information. http://www.baseboardheatercovers.com/installation.html
Q: Are they hot to the touch, will they burn a child's hand?

Q: Can these be painted? If so, what kind of paint is recommended?
Asked by 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYes. The manufacturer recommends a spray bomb application with a latex or enamel based paint in the color of your choice.
From the manufacturer's website: "...the standard semi-gloss white powder coated surface can be painted over. We recommend a spray bomb application with a latex or enamel based paint in the color of your choice." I guess I am showing my age, but, apparently, a "spray bomb" just refers to using an aerosol can of spray paint.
You can paint this with a good spray paint Krylon is a very good paint.
yes
Q: some rooms where i have baseboard I keep the flipper closed . what do I do if I replace the cover?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThese DIY covers do not have a closeable damper.
These are do-it-yourself covers and therefore do not actually have closeable dampers.
The front side still remains open.

Yes, it will work.
Q: I have a knob (to adjust temp/flow through the pipe) on my baseboard heater that extends through the cover. I assume I will have to cut a hole for this knob. What tool would you recommend to get a clean cut.
Asked by Bob 15 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffWe would recommend that you use a metal hole cut saw.
The 22 gauge steel can also be cut very neatly with hand shears.
