Hi,

We are in the process of converting our attic to livable space. The space will include 2- 12x15 bedrooms, a small bath and a living area appox 10x15. Each room will have a sloping ceiling the connects to 4ft knee walls 7.5 ft at peak.

We are planing to ad an additional zone but were wondering how many slant fin baseboard heaters will be needed? I was thinking maybe 1 6ft baseboard unit in each bedroom and living area and a 3ft in the bathroom.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Larry
