2. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   Floor registers generally have a grille strong enough for a human being to walk on without damaging the grille. It is rare to find a floor register installed less than 6 inches (15 cm) from the corner of a room. [8] When a floor register is not practical or desired, a wall register is used. The correct placement of wall heating registers is ...

3. Quarter round - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_round

   A variation is a base shoe, a quarter of an ellipse. [1] Most quarter round is of small gauge and relatively flexible. It is typically used as a decorative build-up element in mantels and other architectural features, and at the lower edge of baseboard to hide any gaps between it and a floor. Base shoe is used similarly in flooring applications.

4. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic periods.

5. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   This sets up convective loops of air movement within a room. If the radiator is blocked either from above or below, this air movement is prevented, and the heater will not work. Baseboard heating systems are sometimes fitted with moveable covers to allow the resident to fine-tune heating by room, much like air registers in a central air system.

6. Baseboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseboard

   A baseboard differs from a wainscot; a wainscot typically covers from the floor to around 1-1.5 metres (3' to 5') high (waist or chest height), whereas a baseboard is typically under 0.2 metres (8") high (ankle height). Plastic baseboard comes in various plastic compounds, the most common of which is UPVC.

7. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   Baseboard heaters will especially benefit from a programmable thermostat which is capable of continuous control (as are at least some Honeywell models), effectively controlling the heater like a lamp dimmer, and gradually increasing and decreasing heating to ensure an extremely constant room temperature (continuous control rather than relying ...
