Child safety remains one of the top areas of concern with baseboard heating.
Our product is designed to ensure little fingers and flammable items cannot come in contact
with the finned tube heating element by way of covering the entire heater with a perforated steel
screen. All baseboard heaters will get hot; an absolute necessity to heat the air currents
that pass through the heater. This process is known as convection heating.
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 significantly compromising energy efficiency (example: enclose the
heater in a wood cabinet). The many holes in the 22 gauge galvanized steel covers will dissipate
heat energy quickly, making them cooler to the touch than the finned tube heating element itself.
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. |
