Baseboard Heater Vents

2 years ago

Fellow Houzzers,

I'm remodeling much of my contemporary 50 year old mountain home. Every room in this house has two walls with these old metal baseboard heaters which also complicates furniture placement. By the way, I love baseboard heating. I've spray painted these in a few rooms but looking for any other more modern updated solutions to an old heating system. I found some custom wood ones on Etsy but they were pretty expensive. In one of the downstairs bedrooms I have 25 feet of baseboards. Any solutions to suggest?
