I have no good way to get heat to where I want it except to run it along the perimeter of the room and would like some input on possible options.

I live in the northeast so I will not run pipes in exterior walls.

I have already installed baseboard heater blanks in the room to get the pipe to the actual finned heater element. But it looks funny - just way too many heaters in the room even though 12 ft of them are blanks.

So I was thinking of taking a piece of the baseboard molding, like I used in the rest of the room, and running the copper behind that, by hollowing out the back a bit (dado on table saw probably) and furring it out from the wall with strips along the top. I'd also run a piece on the floor to act as backing.

The system uses 3/4" pipe and I have to run the supply and return - lots of copper in the room.

I tried to find examples on like of this having been done but found none.

Any thoughts?
