Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
 
We have gathered some of our most frequently asked question about “base boards” and their answers for you

? Are base boards suitable for wooden or prefabricated buildings?

! Base boards are suitable for both of these types of buildings. The limited amount of space in the walls of a wood home is also not an issue. The base boards always deliver a consistent heat over the surface of the wall regardless of their locations.

? Can you use base board heating in the kitchen?

! If the kitchen is on an outside wall, then the heating border can be installed behind the lower cabinets without the covers. The heat makes it's way through an air space in the cabinets, which is integrated into the manufacturer's base boards.

? About how much does it cost to install base boards in a standard two bedroom house with approximately 90 square meters of floor space?

! Base boards are, for the most part, less expensive than conventional heating systems. In order to accurately determine the price, please complete this form with as much information as possible and send it to use

? Doesn't the dusts that falls downward because of the base board heating make the walls dirty over time?

! No, if this happens, then the heating system was installed incorrectly.

? Is it true that you can not place large cabinets against the outside walls, because it will disrupt the radiant heat that is coming from there?
! Yes, that is true because with a large cabinet the amount of surface that heat can radiate from is limited. But this is also true with every other heating system. The reason: The space behind a cabinet cools down more that the rest of the wall and water condensation will builds up in this spot. Over time this can make this spot damp or wet. Normal sized cabinets will only minimally effect the base boards as long as enough wall space elsewhere is still exposed. The heating installation set contains everything that you will need: From the boiler to the last screw, detailed assembly instructions, and installation plans for each style of building. All of the useful accessories seen in the picture are also provided. With all of this, you should be able to install your new heating system. If you are not comfortable with with doing it yourself, we will gladly organize the installation for you with one of our experienced technicians.
? Kann man Heizleisten optisch dem Raum anpassen?

! Ja auf jeden Fall, es gibt viele gestalterische Möglichkeiten, die Heizleisten zu verschönern. Massivholz-Längsteile sind dafür ideal, und deswegen lässt sich jeder Farbwunsch realisieren.

? Kann ich die Heizleisten selbst montieren?

Und sollten Sie doch davor zurückschrecken, organisieren wir gerne eine Montage durch einen erfahrenen Monteur.

 

? We have a winter garden and/or large glass enclosed area – can we still use heating borders there?
! To prevent heat loss due to large windows in a room, the surface temurature needs to be higher then that of the air outside. This can be done best with the use of our heating trim, posts, and columns.
? If base boards have so many advantages, why are they so rarely seen?

! Base boards need to be thought of and planed for in advance. Most people do not put much thought into the heating system when planing a home. They leave this decision up to the builder, who usually uses a system that he is used to. They simply install a radiator somewhere or a few square meters of in-floor heating and call it good, without putting much, if any thought into whether or not this heating system creates a clean healthy climate.
