Radiator placement: should it be under the window or on opposing wall?
Q
Comments (12)
Hi Elan, the old way of thinking is that radiators would be ideally placed under windows to take advantage of the natural convection that the draught from the window would create and because the window is already a wasted space in design terms anyway. However, as many others here have said, with the advent of double and now triple glazed windows, the effects of draughts is minimal. I see that you have positioned it under the window anyway and we would recommend this in most instances as you are less likely to block the heat with furniture and it is more likely to heat your room efficiently if it is placed under a window. Just bear in mind that long curtains draped over the top will be incredibly inefficient practice - as you would lose heat through your window (double glazed or not) and remember that if you are using Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) with your radiator, be sure that you turn them up gradually as this will help to adequately heat your room and be more efficient in the long run. Turning them right up to the top will not heat your room quicker, as that depends upon the quality of your boiler and the quality of your radiator itself. For more help and info we have some advice in our radiator buying guide.

That's a lovely sized bathroom ffawnog! You're very lucky! We would suggest maybe thinking again about the radiator you have in there. We love the more traditionally styled column rads like that, but maybe getting a slimline one that is a little taller may be a solution. One like this - http://www.bestheating.com/milano-windsor-traditional-white-3-column-radiator-1800mm-x-203mm-vertical.html or perhaps a heated towel rail in a similar style - http://www.bestheating.com/milano-trent-traditional-heated-towel-radiator-930mm-x-620mm-flat-top-rail.html Either way, we can't wait to see the finished look! We're off to lament our distinct lack of bathroom space now :-(

Hi Colourhappy, it is Purbeck Stone, which was chosen by our super interior designer (Gina from Create Perfect on here). She's teamed it with shadow white on the ceiling and Wimborne White on the woodwork. The base of the fireplace is in Ammonite. We think it looks beautiful- such a warm and contemporary grey. Excuse the state of the floorboards- they need a good clean as are covered in dust from all the rubbing down of the paintwork but here's another couple of pics now the second coat is on. There will also be a large rug under the sofas to break up the brown of floorboards and the sofas Just waiting to put up our new radiators and Best Heating yes of course I'll share some pics once the radiators go up tomorrow!

Which side of the bathroom to place radiator?
Q

Hard to see what space you have since photo is of part/most of the room. I have just totally redone ensuite and house bathroom together. Our House bathroom is not big. I would definitely do ladder style radiator (mirrored is nice idea, but you do need somewhere to dry your wet towels on) prob in similar position to the current radiator, so it radiates the room. (but careful not to fit where a man would stand when he uses the loo!!) Don't go overboard on BTUs. Get it right though. We measured BTUs from three different websites to cross reference, remembering great insulation (which I can see you have put in), size of windows etc etc. I put in what I believed was adequate - not the overboard amount the plumber recommended - and we are fine, beautifully warm without ever having the rads on full. We didn't do underfloor heating. (underfloor heating is really really expensive to use). Instead we laid a lovely amtico floor - their budget range that does wood effect vinyl strips. This flooring isn't cold like tiles and is easy to clean. Looks great and not really expensive. And if there is a problem with a strip, you can pop it out and replace with another. Over time you may find a nice shelving feature in wood or something to hang on the wall alongside the radiator to balance the room if there is space. Gives you a bit of extra storage for things you like to show on view - perfume bottles etc.? I'm guessing the porcelain in the picture is what you are replacing. We got our designs (advice from local bathroom shop). Then we marked it all out on the floor exactly as was suggested. There were a few MAJOR design issues with the designers' ideas. And I insisted on changes to give the room the feel of more space. So I would advise you to test out the advice you are given by marking it up and thinking it through. Very small skinny units, loos cisterns etc come with fitting problems, because you still have to have the right space for your waste pipes to flow through. We had some fitting challenges in our design and I am glad I had a team of two very good fitters, who cared about detail and excellent finish. Instead of tiles I had aquapanels fitted. They are beautiful. And we used off cuts for the bath edges to tone in with the walls above. made the bath disappear into the space and was much nicer than a standard white bath panel. Some of my purchases came from bathstore. They were good price (on offer date of course), stylish and fitters liked them. Also anything that needed to go back and get exchanged - they were really fantastic about changing. No hassle. This is excellent; some companies charge you a 'restocking' fee. good luck.
