The Perfect Pair: How Baseboarders® Panels and Couplers Work Together

Upgrading your home's heating system is a significant investment, and achieving a seamless, efficient look is paramount. Baseboarders® offers an innovative solution with its easy slip-on baseboard heater covers, designed to rejuvenate outdated yet functional baseboard heaters.  

A critical component of this system is the coupler, which ensures a flawless connection between panels for extended heater lengths.

The Synergy Between Panels and Couplers 

Baseboarders® panels are crafted from premium galvanized steel with a durable powder-coated finish, providing both aesthetic appeal and longevity. When heating units exceed standard lengths, multiple panels are required.  

This is where Baseboarders® couplers come into play. Also known as splicers, couplers are used to join two panels seamlessly, maintaining a consistent and polished appearance throughout the installation. By slipping over the ends of adjacent panels, couplers conceal any gaps and ensure structural integrity.

  • Perforated Couplers: The pattern of 1/8" diameter holes matches the perforated panel design for decorative continuity.   They match the perforated panel covers for decorative continuity.

Compatibility and Installation 

Baseboarders® couplers are specifically engineered to work with their respective series.
