As mentioned above, radiators are often placed beneath windows in both older properties and new builds for several key reasons:
Heat Efficiency
The main reason radiators are positioned under windows is because windows tend to be the coldest part of a room. Placing radiators such as Single Radiators or Double Radiators here warms the cold air entering through the window. Since hot air rises, placing radiators closer to the floor encourages better air circulation, making your home feel warmer and potentially lowering your energy bills.
Efficient Use of Space
For smaller homes, installing radiators beneath windows helps you maximize available wall space. Compact options like Horizontal Radiators and Vertical Radiators make efficient use of often-unused space, leaving room for furniture and décor elsewhere.
Aesthetic Appeal
Placing radiators beneath windows lends a clean, cohesive look to your rooms. This avoids the cluttered appearance that can occur when radiators are scattered randomly, helping to complement your interior design, whether you choose sleek Flat Designer Radiators or stylish Oval Radiators.
Tradition
Historically, before double or triple glazing was common, positioning radiators under windows was essential to combat heat loss. Many still adhere to this tradition, even in modern homes fitted with efficient White Radiators and designer options, honoring classic design principles.
