Suggestions for hall radiator please
Q

I agree with the comments about covering whatever you have with a radiator cover - to reduce ugliness and provide a really useful shelf above. However, whether you go down that route or not, the location is a super-important aspect. Mine is in exactly the wrong place - and it was my decision - and I regret it every day. The trouble is that it took a lot of drilling through concrete below original terracotta tiles (I had no idea it would mean that) so if I move it again it means more wrecked floor and how the pipes would work is impossible to imagine. I can't cover it up with a cover as it is in a small corner next to the front door and fits the space exactly, end to end. A cover would stop the door from opening. I had hopeless advice from the plumber installing the radiator; advice I have to live with - bitterly. Mine is in a hall like yours with the radiator opposite yours but facing the hall (my window is half length). I didn't want it where yours is as I thought it would protrude just where people arrive or leave. I reckon yours is in the right place; it just needs to be prettied up a bit.

Radiator dilemma and BTU - please help

Thanks KWG - this is not good but there is always a solution. 1. The most hassle-free and least bothersome to the plumber is to increase the thickness of the wall. For condensation issues your plasterer has raised, you should ask for 'foil-backed' plasterboard. These are vapour panels that block or limit condensation. Get the best rated one. 2. The alternative is to change your radiators to a configuration that allows the pipe to attach from behind and the valves attach from underneath (see image). It will save you a crucial 8-10cm. On this note, I've just seen that I forgot to post my link for the more detailed BTU calculator: https://www.traderadiators.com/acatalog/heating-calculator.html If you can find something that suits your heating specifications and your taste, this will mean you won't need to compromise on your vision. I hope this has been helpful. Kind regards, Faten

Where to place radiator?
Q

Wherever you decide to put the radiator don’t forget to calculate the BTU’s (British thermal unit) to ensure you purchase the right size radiator for the room. You will find calculators online. All you will need is a tape measure to measure the dimensions of the room. A worthwhile exercise for the whole house before a refurb so that the system works efficiently and economically. Double glazing means the radiator can go anywhere but a window wall is, as someone else said, dead space. My vote is for under the window with a deep window sill or fitted desk to deflect the heat back into the room. Short lined curtains and or thermal blinds would also help to conserve the heat.

Thank you both for your comments and ideas. I had never seen these radiators combined with a bench before! While the front door is currently the main area of foot traffic, I hope to soon have a back door into the kitchen which will take most of the coming and going. So am not sure if a bench will be necessary then. I want to avoid furniture by using a wall mounted shelf, but have also been toying with the idea of filling one of the panels with a tall mirror.
