Hot Water Radiators: An Overview
What Type of Radiator?
Where to position your Radiator
In most cases, it makes sense to position a hot water radiator on an external wall. This is because they are easy to mount, and usually one of the coldest areas within a room. If the wall is situated close to a window, this is all the more likely still. However, a hot water radiator installed beneath a window could be covered by curtains. In such cases, heat can be lost via the window or wall. Therefore, it could be a good idea to add a shelf to separate the radiator and window. Another useful tip is to add a radiator fan to your chosen room. This enables the hot air to be distributed evenly throughout it. This is especially worth considering in larger areas where you spend a lot of time. For example, a lounge or kitchen could greatly benefit from a radiator fan. They’ll help to make sure everyone in the room enjoys a comfortable level of warmth.
