CONT

Baseboard heat-distributing units are divided into two types: radiant-convector and finned tube.... The finned-tube-type baseboard has a finned tube heating element concealed by a long, low sheetmetal enclosure or cover. A major portion of the heat is transferred to the room by convection. The output varies over a wide range, depending on the physical dimensions and the materials used.... Optimum comfort for room occupants is obtained when units are so selected that they are installed along as much of the exposed wall as possible.
