Heating issue

[Aberfoyle]

Hi

I have a timber framed home with a bay window in the lounge. In the bay is a radiator and the UPVC window and glass gets warm from the radiator. I have a bay in the dining room same setup but not the same problem, anyone point me in the right direction as to what made be wrong. When I say warm it warm to touch (both glass panes and window frame) while the two windows either side of the bay are cold like the windows in the dinning room.

Does it have unlagged pipes in the stud wall?

Think so, it has plastic pipes and the stud wall should have insulation in but not checked this. House is 2 years old

Why is this a problem??? Radiator heats something above it, it's a convection heater, heat gets carried in the air, air flow is dependant on all sorts of things.....

The problem in this room is the coldist in the house. I understand convection but the sill the window sit on is cold, the frame and glass above it what gets warm

If it's got something like Kinspan then warm air can easily get up the cavity.
