This is largely a design choice. If your heaters are standard height, we recommend that you order your wainscot with a base height 1-3" above the heaters. If they are tall, like older ones that are sometimes 24" tall, we recommend that you just ignore them for ordering purposes. During installation, you will just cut around them.

I see dirt streaks around my registers, do my ducts need cleaning?

Indoor air quality - Commercial FAQ
No, dirt streaks are almost always caused by poor design. All air has dirt in it. If the speed (velocity) of the air exiting your register is higher than it should be the dirt is actually impacted on the wall or ceiling surface. A solution is to add another register from the same duct serving this register; this reduces the speed of the air by distributing it to two registers instead of one. It will also reduce the air noise coming from the original register. See similar questions...

Steel coating is an older technology that directs the heat source but requires more time to warm up, operates at higher temperatures, and uses more energy to reach the level necessary for deep tissue penetration.
