Insufficient space under one of the baseboards for backerboard and tiles - read on ...
I am replacing a bathroom vinyl floor with tile and have forced hot water heat.
The bottom of the heating fins is only 1†above the vinyl floor. There is no give (vertically) on the forced hot water pipe to pull it up a bit. And the front cover is a tight 7/8†above the vinyl floor.
After putting down backerboard and tile, there will be an 1/8" or less clearance between the bottom of the fins and the tile. I guess this will be ok.
BUT there would be 0†clearance between the cover and the tile floor. Thus no air circulation under the front cover.
ARG! So what to do about the front cover???
