How high above my baseboards (electric?) should I hang my sheers to avoid a fire hazard? ( sh.itjust.works )

UPDATE: After more investigation, I was advised that this uses a central boiler for a hot water baseboard heater and it is safe to keep the curtains or sheers at least 1/2" to 1" above the top of the baseboards.

If those baseboards are producing a high enough temperature to light the drapes, nothing in your house is safe in any configuration.

I’ve seen recommendations anywhere from 4" to 12".

But at the very absolute minimum, they should never be able to touch.

12 inches minimum.

Are they hot water, electric, or steam?
