Child safety remains one of the top areas of concern with baseboard heating.
Baseboarders® are designed to ensure little fingers and flammable items cannot come into
contact with the finned tube heating element. By covering the open gap that runs along the
top of a baseboard heater, the dangerously hot heating element is blocked allowing only the
heated air to pass through.
Over the years, many well-intentioned parents, child care operators and professional baby-proofers
have asked us for a baseboard heater cover that doesn't get hot. Unfortunately, this is not possible
without the risk of seriously reducing the efficiency of the baseboard heater. All baseboard heaters
and their covers will get hot. This is an absolute necessity to heat the gentle convection air currents
that pass through the heater; a process known as convection heating. For more information
on installing Baseboarders® over electric heaters, consult the electrical heater coverage guide.
These unique one-piece baseboard heater covers are currently installed in both government
operated and private
child care facilities across North America. It is regarded by many baby proofing
experts as the premier baseboard heater safety product. Read the reviews for more details. |
