Radiators vs Fin Tube Baseboard

Houseneeds recommends and sells Myson radiators for the following reasons.

COMFORT — Myson Radiators deliver heat in two ways, and enhance your comfort throughout the heating season.
  1. Radiant heat is delivered directly from the radiator panels to you. Think of that pleasant feeling of satisfying warmth that you get by sitting around a wood stove or grandma’s old cast iron steam radiator on a cold winter day.
  2. Convective heat is delivered by warming the air creating a low to high air flow covering your outside walls and windows to create an envelope of warmth.
Conventional fin tube baseboards work by convection only, delaying the warming of the room and depriving you of the comforting warmth that only radiant heating can provide.
SPACE
Myson Radiators occupy only a fraction of the wall space compared to fin tube baseboard. As a result, you gain more space and flexibility for your interior design and furniture placement.
Conventional fin tube baseboard takes up way more desirable wall space than a Myson Radiator does.
DURABILITY
Myson Radiators are constructed of heavy gauge steel with a durable epoxy polyester powder coat finish strong enough to stand up to years of use, while maintaining their functionality and new appearance.
A fin tube baseboard’s thin sheet metal covers are easily damaged by vacuum cleaners, children’s toys, and rusting in damp environments — especially bathrooms — and do not stand up to the rigors of modern family life.
EFFICIENCY
Myson Radiators start heating immediately after hot water begins circulating though them. This fast heat delivery shortens the run time of your boiler, providing real fuel savings.
Fin tube baseboards, with their inefficient and slow heat delivery, take longer to heat your home and cost you more money for heating fuel.
VALUE
Myson Radiators, when properly installed, will provide you with a lifetime of comfort and value, saving you money, year after year, long after fin tube baseboard has lost its original condition and value.
Over time fin tube’s cover will degrade and the fins become coated with dust, lowering its ability to efficiently heat your home.
DESIGN CHOICE
 Myson Radiators are available in a variety of sizes and designs, ranging from traditional to modern, accommodating all your interior decorating creations.
The traditional fin tube baseboard has no design appeal.
EASE OF CLEANING
Mounted off the floor, Myson Radiators make vacuuming and washing floors easy by allowing access to areas impossible to clean when baseboard is installed. Myson’s durable epoxy polyester finish is easily cleaned with non-abrasive household cleaner or a damp cloth.
Fin tube baseboard is very difficult to clean, leaving a dust laden interior and a dented and scuffed exterior because of the use of thin sheet metal. The interior aluminum fins are razor sharp, making it difficult to clean without cutting yourself.
