OverBoards Baseboard Radiator Covers
These heavy-duty aluminum covers are the ideal solution for your beat-up or missing baseboard radiator covers.
OverBoards baseboard radiator covers are made from extruded aluminum with a white powder-coated finish. The 8-1/4-in.-tall covers install on top of existing baseboard radiators without the need to remove the back of the old cover. The company custom-cuts every order to the nearest 1/8 in. and offers cast-aluminum end caps and corners to match. At $70 per ft. and with caps starting at $90 each, OverBoards could be considered an extravagance, but they’re well made (in the United States) and look great. In this edition of Tool Tech, host Patrick McCombe explains the product and suggests why it makes sense for some spaces.

$70/ft and $90 for a cap? I'll trot out my sander, primer and paint again, thanks.
