Rust-Proof Baseboard Heater Covers

Baseboard hot water heaters are a common type of heating system where the heaters are attached to the wall and sit along the room’s baseboard. This system is commonly found in homes designed after 1950. That being said, the 50s style of these baseboard heaters has become outdated, and they often have rust. At EZ Snap™ Covers, we provide modern solutions to this ugly problem. Our snap-on baseboard heater covers have a fresh modern design that better coincides with today’s interior designs. Since they’re rust-proof, they’ll look good for years to come, in fact, EZ Snap™ Covers are guaranteed for as long as you own your home.

Rust is caused by a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water. Original baseboard heaters were made from raw steel, which, when exposed to the oxygen and moisture in the air for decades, rusts. At EZ Snap™ Covers, we use galvanized steel with a baked-on epoxy powder coating, which results in rust-proof baseboard heater covers.

Attractive

Our modern rust-proof baseboard heater covers are designed to make your baseboard heaters beautiful. The design is slimmer, sleeker, and overall more attractive than the baseboard heaters of years past. We carry our baseboard covers in two colors: white and urban galvanized. These colors are very versatile and work with almost any color scheme you may currently have. The sleek design enhances any room in your house.

Safe

Our covers are safer than the original heaters.  Our exclusive Safe Edge minimizes the risk of scraping or cutting yourself during installation.  EZ Snap™ Covers design helps prevent little fingers from getting burnt and cut by the razor like fins.  Our covers also make it safer for your pets.

Durable

Our rust-proof baseboard heater covers are manufactured from high-quality 20-gauge galvanized steel, which is 18% thicker and stronger than similar covers. This, combined with our baked on epoxy powder coating, results in a product built to last. We’re so confident in our products that we offer a lifetime warranty against rust.

Clean

Cleaning is a breeze!  Just wipe it down with a damp cloth and your dusting is done!

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.
