He designed homes influenced by the prairie's long, straight horizons and flat lines.

In America, regional representations of the Arts and Crafts emerged. This home style's beautifully simple, functional, rustic, and hand-hewn look appeals to many. Interior trim work emphasizes wood grains and built-in cabinetry.
Exteriors are wood or stone with masonry chimneys and frequently have large porches along the front of the home.Typically, the foundations are constructed of rock, sloping outward as they get closer to the ground.Dormer windows in various styles protect glass and create a welcoming entry.Exposed rafters, beams, or rafter ends are common.Also, I have looked At replacements such as Runtal and they just cost WAY to much.Arts and Crafts house plans, in all their variety, do share some common characteristics. The cast iron baseboard radiator is a hair over 8" tall and is 11' long.Īny ideas or help on this would be GREATLY appreciated. What kind of material? Like sheet metal? Also, can this material touch my baseboard because to get it behind the baseboard it will be touching the radiator and wall. I have read and read on covers for radiators and most say to put some type of reflective material behind the radiator & on the inside top of the cover. Obviously there has to be some way to access the piping so I was thinking instead of making the entire top lift up, I would use (2) piano hinges (one on each end) and make smaller sections that lift up. I was planning on using OAK for the wood, having cut-outs on the front and possible the top where I would attach a decorative aluminum screen. My wife absolutely hates the look of them so I was thinking of building some sort of cover for them. My wife and I recently purchased our new house an it is heated by mostly cast iron baseboard radiators (see attached photos).
