Floor Heater Covers: Baseboard Renovation

Aside from being an eyesore, an uncovered baseboard radiator can cause accidental burns, especially if you have small children in your home. A simple solution to this is EZ Snap Covers’ floor heater covers. While there are several reasons our baseboard radiator covers can provide an ideal addition to your home, beyond safety, these reasons can be further categorized into ease of installation, aesthetic, quality, and durability.

Floor Heater Covers: Ease of Installation

As you might imagine from a company named EZ Snap Covers, our baseboard radiator covers are extremely simple to use and will snap right over the vast majority of standard baseboard heaters. As a one-size-fits-all product, there is no need to bring out the tools or give any repair people a call.

Floor Heater Covers: Aesthetic

While we currently only offer our radiant heat covers in white or their original steel finishes, our baseboard heater covers look excellent no matter what room you put them in. Seamlessly blending in with the wall behind them, EZ Snap Covers will keep the focus on your interior design and away from exposed baseboard radiators. What’s more, our covers are guaranteed not to rust, due to their epoxy powder coating.

Floor Heater Covers: Quality and Durability

EZ Snap Covers’ baseboard heater covers offer unparalleled quality. Crafted from 20-gauge galvanized steel, they are the thickest and strongest steel radiator covers on the market. Better yet, we also make our snap covers with a safe edge design that furthers their ease of use, preventing any scrapes or cuts during installation. Best of all, as an American-made product, we can personally assure you that there are no shortcuts being taken in their manufacture.

Step 2 
DETERMINE IF BRACKETS ARE NECESSARY

Always measure left to right, and twice for accuracy

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.
