Thoughts to Consider When Buying
Baseboard Covers and Convector Covers
1. Will your baseboard covers be used for a residence or business?
If you need baseboard covers for a home, the most popular styles
are FTGGFM, FTOGFM and FTCGFM. All have perforated front grills,
and a decorator appearance designed to work nicely in any home.
All of these baseboard covers have a flat top design.
2. If you’re interested in baseboard covers for a commercial
application, such as a school or motel, any of our models are
applicable. One consideration: baseboard covers with louvered
covers are heavier and more durable than those with level tops. 3. Will the baseboard cover fit “wall-to-wall?” If so, you’ll need to
measure the wall in the very corner, rather than out 4” from the corners.
We suggest you subtract 1/4” from that dimension, and order inside
end angles. (This is recommended for all louvered covers.) We also
suggest outside trim pieces for all perforated baseboard covers. 4. If your baseboard covers will not run wall-to-wall, you’ll want left
and/ or right end caps, depending on location. 5. Will the bottom of your baseboard cover rest on the floor? If so,
this is an FM (floor-mounted) model. If the bottom of the cover will
be above the floor, it will be wall-mounted, so it’s a model WM.
Floor mounted baseboard covers are stronger. 6. Do you need an inside corner for your baseboard cover?
If so, measure the length you need from the very corner, in each
direction, then subtract the depth of your cover, from each
measurement. This will become our “build size” for each wall.
If you need end caps, let us know which end of each length. 7. What style baseboard covers will be best for your home or
business? Flat top? Sloped top? Wall mounted? Floor mounted?
Wall-to-wall? Mid-wall? Our section view charts can help you decide!
