420 x 1800 Designer Vertical Radiators, positioning....

[The Riviera Kid]

Hi folks,

I've just seen some cool vertical radiators which I think might solve (one of the many lol) some layout problems in the living room.

Currently the radiators are positioned rather randomly, making positioning of furniture somewhat awkward. We have a patio door smack bang in the middle of the living room wall and fitting two of these radiators one either side of the patio door would free up the other walls for furniture.

I've read various arguments for and against having radiators next to windows, most seem to edge towards having them there to counteract cold spots caused by draughts. Currently the patio door is rather draughty and probably isn't going to be replaced for a year or so (quotes are expensive and it's quite low down on my to-do list).

Opinions?

Make sure that the outputs of these designer radiators meet your requirements as often they have low outputs for their size. If the radiators outputs are enough for you room you can put them anywhere and they will heat your room nicley

Thanks for that newgasinstaller. Is there any way to tell the output of the current radiators in the room? They're two ancient, roughly 1.5m wide single radiators, caked in old paint. Is there a rough standard for a radiator of this size or are they all different?

its best to calculate what output your room requires theres online calculators for this then just try and meet this figure when selection your new radiators
