radiant baseboard

cant remember the brand name,about 6inches high 1 inch deep.if i remember correctly its output was about half traditional baseboard.looked great,easy install with plastic clips.i think we did about 4 or 5 big customs before winter rolled in and so did the complaints.lots of expansion noises comming from within the baseboard itself.i think it was made of aluminum with copper sleeved inside.it wasnt loud,just enough to drive you nuts if you were trying to fall asleep.all complaints were from bedrooms.never used it after that,constant circulation might eliminate the noise.cant remember how the company i worked for at the time resolved the noise problem.

does any one here use radiant baseboard?

has any one here used radiand baseboard to heat a whole house instead of traditional baseboard heat? Looks much better on the finish

but you have to run exterior and interior walls with it to get enough output, the rating is only about 300btu per foot
