BCI/BCSI Series Architectural Sill-Height Convector
The BCI/BCSI architectural sill-height convector (also known as draft barriers) are designed to fit under large windows to prevent cold down drafts. These heaters can provide total or supplemental heating for a variety of applications.
- Installation Options: Units may be mounted to the wall flush on the floor or on pedestals. Custom lengths, blank sections, and inside or outside corners are available for wall-to-wall installations. Units can be ordered with Option “S” for smooth painted finish when the back of the heater is visible.
- Added Safety: The sloped-top of the BCSI prevents objects from being set on top of the heater, which can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
- Choice of Colors: Heaters can be matched to any décor. White or almond is standard and a wide range of optional colors and custom finishes including anodized aluminum are available.
