I am installing a bathroom vanity that is on the same wall as my hot water baseboard. What is the best way to allow the heat to escape from my vanity and into the room?The vanity is 30" wide and the room is in total about 8.5 feet by 4.5 feet (floor space only, not including tub and shower)Is it OK to cover this section of the pipe with insulation? This would protect the vanity? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Shawn
If I were you, I would buy the sort of vanity that juts out from the wall and attaches to it, and then is supported by either a pillar in the center, or two poles on the front corners. These will permit necessary air circulation while still doing the job.
Either put the vanity in a different place or move the heat register. You will trap the heat inside the vanity, those registers only work well if air can move through them, creating a convection current. It can be a real pain to drain the system and move the baseboard, then refill and get the air out. Seriously consider putting the vanity elswhere or install a pedestal sink.
go ahead and install u vanity ,just make sure u cut a hole in the front of the new vanity and install a new grill also for the heat and air to go out into the room,is fine it works,good luck my friend
