Hello,
I have a question on base board heating I have it only in on section of my house which is a sun room I made into my office. The base board heating only has the fins on about 3 feet of pipe on each end and the room is about 20 feet long. It does not get real warm in there We are just getting done apinting the room and I know a draft comes in from the floor I am going to chalk that up when we get new rugs. I am wondering if the fins should go all the way down the opie or is 3 feet on each end correct. Thnak you indavnace for your help.

You dont say what the heat loss is for this room. But slant/fin baseboard is 720 BTU per ft at 200o water and 4 g.p.m. flow;) ED
