Why You Should Invest in a Heater Cover: Style and Safety

Though our radiators play an important role in keeping our homes warm throughout the harsh winter months, they aren’t typically the safest—or prettiest—in their original condition. Purchasing an EZ Snap Cover baseboard heater cover can help you with these very problems, put your mind at ease, and get you back to enjoying your home. Here are a few reasons why you should get an EZ Snap Covers.

Style Enhancement

They’re useful, but radiators aren’t among the most stylish utilities in the average home. Going out and getting a new model simply because of how it looks also isn’t ideal for your budget. Using a radiator cover allows you the freedom to choose a style that fits with your established aesthetic.

Child and Pet Safety

The external shell of the radiator can get extremely hot, and children or pets can accidentally brush up against it and injure themselves. Covering that hazardous surface with a thick layer of steel will allow the heat to escape through the proper channels while keeping the rest of the surface cool to the touch. Some of these covers also come in rounded designs to eliminate the risk of running into a sharp edge.

Noise Reduction

Everyone knows the sloshing and clicking noises associated with a radiator turning on. But what most radiator owners don’t know is that these sounds can be muffled. While you won’t be able to eliminate them completely, placing a cover over your heater can significantly reduce the volume of the noises. Keep in mind that sometimes you’ll want to listen to these sounds so that you can assess if there’s a problem and if the radiator needs to be fixed.

Budget-Friendliness

These covers are diverse enough in style that shopping around can really pay off. Some may be a bit out of your price range, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they all are. With a series of options to explore, you’re sure to find a radiator cover that works with both your style and your bank account.

Ease of Installation

Depending on which cover you’ve chosen for your home, installation can be as simple as sliding it over the radiator and securing it to the wall. Some specialized models are installed differently, but the overall process is usually efficient and rewarding. This ensures you get the results you want with very little time commitment.

At EZ Snap™ Covers, our mission is to supply you with heater protection that makes your home as beautiful as you envision while maintaining safety. Our baseboard radiator covers are carefully designed to provide your home with the look you want and to give you the peace of mind that your loved ones are safe.

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.
