Product description
The Ouellet OFM standard baseboard heater is designed to deliver consistent indoor heat in a compact footprint. Its slim profile and rounded corners support safer everyday use, especially in high-traffic areas and family homes.
For comfort and noise control, the stainless steel tubular heating element with aluminum fins is designed to float on high-temperature nylon bushings, helping reduce expansion noises as the unit warms up and cools down.
The white epoxy/polyester powder paint finish provides a clean look and can be repainted with interior paint if you want it to match your room color.
