NeatHeat will fit on many popular models of baseboard heaters including SlantFin models 15, 30, 2000, Hydrotherm, Sterling Petite 7, and many others. Since most people do not know what model baseboard they have, we recommend watching our “How to Install NeatHeat” guide found in our "VIDEOS" section.

Generally NeatHeat can be installed by anyone requiring no special tools or skills. NeatHeat can be cut to length with a utility knife, hacksaw, chopsaw, or even carpet shears. If you run into any issues during the installation process, we have a "How to Install NeatHeat" guide in the "VIDEOS" section.

Yes, NeatHeat is very easy to paint and requires very little surface preparation. You can use any spray paint designed for polymers, as well as paint designed to withstand high heat, both of which should be available at your local hardware store.

NeatHeat has no sharp corners, and effectively protects occupants from potentially hazardous conditions which may be in the home due to existing baseboard heaters. Many parents and daycare centers are using NeatHeat to keep small fingers away from the metal enclosures and the sharp metal fins that are located inside, and to prevent toys from falling into the open ventilation.
