Upgrade Your Home with Decorative Baseboard Heater Covers

If you’re the owner of an old house, you’re likely familiar with the hydronic baseboard heating system. While effective, some homeowners consider these systems an eyesore, especially once the heaters have experienced the wear that comes with age. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: upgrade your home with decorative baseboard heater covers. Here are some of the best reasons to do so.

Decorative Designs Go With Different Interior Styles

Worried that a decorative heater cover won’t fit with the style of your home? Don’t be! Most decorative heater covers are sleek yet unobtrusive and designed to blend seamlessly with the style of any home. Simply choose a neutral color that goes with the colors in the room and a style that you like, and you’ll be set. Once your new baseboard heater covers are installed, they’ll improve the room’s appearance by hiding any unsightly damage and will help protect your heaters from further wear.

Useful Throughout the Whole Home

Decorative baseboard heating covers are versatile and can be installed over baseboard heaters anywhere in your home. They’re perfect for covering the unsightly baseboard heaters and adding a subtle accent to public areas such as your living room or sitting room. Decorative covers will also be right at home in rooms where old heaters are more prone to rust due to higher levels of humidity (such as your kitchen or a bathroom.)

Installation Process is Simple

In addition to improving the appearance of your home and protecting your heaters from damage, decorative baseboard heater covers are incredibly easy to install. Our covers are called EZ Snap™ Covers for a reason—installation is as simple as measuring your heater, selecting the correct size, removing the original cover, and snapping on the new one! Plus, the process of installing covers is far less expensive than renovating or replacing your heating system. If you’ve been wanting to update the appearance of the heating system in your home, don’t wait—upgrade your home with decorative baseboard heater covers today.

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
