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.
Baseboard convectors are designed to heat the air in the room using convection to transfer heat from the radiators to the surrounding air. [4] They do this by drawing cool air in at the bottom, warming the air as it passes over the radiator fins, and discharging the heated air at the top. This sets up convective loops of air movement within a room.
