The material isn't too hard to find. Nice texture compliment to wood. I had them as part of wood covers for tall hot water radiators. Didn't reduce efficency much at all. Also makes for an easier removable design. For concern of heating efficiency consider peforated brass screens as the front vertical surface. The material isn’t too hard to find.

I am very interested making a set for my house and these would look a lot better than the ugly metal baseboard covers we have now.

I appreciate your material list, but was wondering if you worked oo of some plans. Or did you just build them on the fly? If you have plans for them would you consider sharing them? Again, you did a great job. Congradulations, Tom W. Hi,

I moved to a Ranch style house with hot water baseboard heat. The covers are over 40 years old and look like crap and I want to replace them all. This is the first time I have had a home with this type of heating and while it is ugly, it is wonderfully comfortable in my home. So my concern with going with wood is the reduction in efficiency. I'm trying to choose between wood or metal. I'm trying to find someone who can address that concern. Nice work Brian. I moved to a Ranch style house with hot water baseboard heat.

But I just wanted to send you a quick note to take a look at the following sites if your interested in sheet metal type baseboard covers - http://www.go-overboard.com/ and http://www.radiantwraps.com/. Those two were the best I found as far as style options available. I personally like the style offerings of the Overboards site. I did think of doing them in sheet metal but I don't have the right tools or sufficient knowledge to work with that type of material. I'll follow-up later with more info. Take Care and good luck with your search. Here is my response to Mark - I will post my response to his question about the research I did later.

I live in a condo where they are all in need of repair or replacement. Nothing I have found is affordable. I have 4 that need to be replaced ranging in lengths from about 4 feet to 10 feet. I have seen some that I like but the price for one 6 foot cover is about 295.00. It would be quite costly to do four. There are alot of people here who would like to replace or our association would even kick in half if they weren't so expensive. The picture about is beautiful, but I worked in a wood shop my whole life and I know that covers constructed of wood would be very expensive. If someone knows where you can get metal ones made for a reasonable price, I would love to get the link or address. Thanks! I too have been searching for an affordable cover for my baseboard heat.
