STEP 2:

Measure Cover Lengths

Cover Luxe baseboard covers are sold in 2-foot, 4-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot lengths. They can be combined with Snap Cap Connectors for longer lengths, or they can be trimmed with a hack saw for smaller lengths. With Cover Luxe you can always achieve a custom fit. Measure the total length from the outside ends of your existing end caps. That is the new cover length. 

Cover Luxe End Caps overlap the cover so do not subtract the cover width from the cover length you measure.
Determine how many feet will be required for each element and decide what size covers will be needed to cover that section.​

STEP 3:

Identify End Cap Type

Cover Luxe offers two types of ends, one for when the pipe exits the floor and another for when a pipe exits the wall. Before ordering end caps, determine which type you will need for each element segment.

STEP 3:

Identify End Cap Type

Cover Luxe offers two types of ends, one for when the pipe exits the floor and another for when a pipe exits the wall. Before ordering end caps, determine which type you will need for each element segment.

The most common configuration for pipes is to enter a room and exit a room through the floor. In this case, an End Cap Set will be the correct product.
When a pipe exits the wall, the end will need a pass-through. Our Snap Cap Connector functions as both a cover joiner and as a pass-through end cap.
Sometimes a pipe enters from the floor at one end, and ends through a wall on the other end. In this instance you'll need both types of ends. End Caps are only sold as sets so you may end up with an extra End Cap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Measuring

What if the element measures 3" or slightly over?

Elements that are 3 inches or deeper are not very common and are considered "high-output" elements. Our covers are compatible, but you will have to press the fins back to create clearance. It's an easy process that we can explain if you will contact us in chat.​

Does Cover Luxe offer cover sizes longer than the 8-foot?

Cover Luxe baseboard covers are designed to be combined for any length you need. You can combine any number of covers with a Snap Cap Connector and trim with a hack saw for a perfect fit every time.​

Does the snap caps that come with the end cap set also work as a connector?

You cannot use the snaps that come with the end cap set instead of a connector because they are slightly different and won't seat properly as a joiner.​

How many inches can you shave off the cover length when you're installing a corner?

You can safely order covers that are 2" shorter than the recommended cover length when covering an end with corners. If you need more guidance feel free to speak with us through chat.​

How can a corner be installed if a 90-degree angle isn't square?

Our 90-degree corners will only fit a square or nearly square wall. It is rare for a wall to be significantly out of plumb, but if you're having difficulty installing the corner, chat with us and we can offer suggestions based on your unique situation.
