baseboard heater question

| I have a cement slab sun porch I am finishing off. I will have baseboard heat and carpet over the cement. My question is how high up should the baseboard heater be off the slab? I know the carpet does not go under the heat but I heard I should raise it like 2 inches before its fixed to the wall and have a filler baseboard strip put under it. Bit I think having the heater raised up will look silly. Any ideas would be helpful! |

| Actually, the carpet does go under it. If it's electric baseboard, it's simple to raise or lower afterward (it screws to the wall). I'd say about 3/4" to 1" up. |

| It is designed to sit on the finish flooring. I can think of no reason to raise the unit up. |
