I knew there had to be a way to do it. Thanks for posting, especially the photos!

My project has been completed for over a year now and I've had zero problems since, including with regard to heat, which I had been concerned with as well. I've noticed no difference in the amount of heat in our bedroom and there's been no warping in the shelving. I left myself about 8" of room above the baseboard heaters and plenty of vent space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794674208463258747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157791125718173880.post-45849632751548846192021-12-28T00:07:14.418-05:002021-12-28T00:07:14.418-05:00Hi!

That’s my guy’s biggest concern.

I just completed filling in an empty corner of my bedroom using 5 billy book cases with their narrow shelf unit to crate the corner. My heater is also hot water fed and I built the cases up about 5 inches higher than the top of the element. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Thanks!

The ...I live a house with hot water baseboard heat. The home was built in 1920 and there are built in shelves, a window seat and moulding built over my baseboard heating units. I assume this home is the same. The previous poster may have been thinking of electric baseboard heat which truly cannot come into contact with combustible materials. Hot water heat does not pose the same risks.

You CANNOT have combustible material (wood) directly above a base board heater. Heat rises and will cause a problem. DO NOT DO THIS IN YOUR HORSE. If it ever catches on fire your homeowners or renters insurance will not cover the damage! Oh and you could die in a house fire. But it does look very nice. I would have removed the base board heater completed if it's not really needed. If it is needed, you could have removed the base board heater, built a box to to add height to the bookshelf, lined the front of the box with metal or other fire proof reflecting material, and then re-installed the baseboard heater so it was in front of the bottom of the book shelf.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877937392159024355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157791125718173880.post-31728086065731740032015-12-19T09:01:23.496-05:002015-12-19T09:01:23.496-05:00This looks fabulous!
