I would thank anyone with some suggestions on this:
I live in a co-op apartment building. Heating an colling is supplied by UniTrane Fan Coil units in each room. For those not familiar, a fan coil units are things you may see in office buidings. They are about three feet off of the floor and can be 3 feet to 5 feet wide or more. They basically work from a central system that pumps hot or cold water into the coil and a blower fan blows into the room, in my case, through the top of unit, but the blower is actually on the bottom of the unit and will basically blow to any open area.
This is the original unit from 1965 and the metal covers are very very ugly. I want to build a cover for it, but have questions as to the facts that it handles heating and cooling, and that it blows, and doesn't radiate...would I have make certain considerations in my design (i.e. should not use wood, etc).
I apologize that this is a rather long-winded question, but any advice that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, Don
