1600 watts is unusually low for electric baseboard heaters! These usually are rated at about 6000 watts.
Typical electric baseboard heaters operate on 220 volts thus you heater would pull about 7.3 amperes and 16 gauge wire can easily handle this.
A standard 6000 watt baseboard heater pulls about 27 amperes and needs 10 gauge wire.

The Ups and Downs of an Electric Wall Heater?
An electric wall heater is the perfect solution for houses in areas that have mild winters. The heater will provide heat for the rooms around it, and it should be installed on a wall that is central to the whole house. Electric wall heaters have some good features and some bad features. Targeted Heat Usually an electric wall heater is a panel that runs from just below the ceiling to just above the floor. It radiates heat to all of the air that directly surrounds it. If you need to heat a three bedroom house, an electric wall heater may not have the strength to reach every room. If your house or apartment is smaller, however, an electric wall heater may be just what you need to keep a couple of the bedrooms and the bathroom warm. Where you place the heater will have a definite impact on how well it heats your rooms. Uses Less Electricity than Central Heating Central heating is designed to heat your entire house. It uses the thermostat to determine when to turn off and on, and it pushes warm air into every room through a ducting system. An electric wall heater doesn’t attempt to warm the entire house. It only warms the air in a radius around the heater. Heating is more immediate with an electric wall heater, so you don’t have to wait hours for it to heat the room. Since you have tighter control over when an electric wall heater is off or on, the heater consumes less electricity and delivers targeted heat when you need it. Easy to Control An electric wall heater is a very straightforward device. When the house is cold, all you have to do is turn it on. The room will start to get warmer immediately. When a room is too warm, all you have to do is turn off the wall heater and the room will begin to cool immediately. The air around an electric wall heater is not pushed around the room, so it remains warmer than if it were blowing through a vent. Electric wall heaters become very hot when they are in use, so keep children a safe distance away from the heater.
