Flat Panel Radiators - Where to Put Yours

There used to be a whole range of do's and don'ts when it comes to the location of your flat panel radiators. Today everything is a lot simpler; here are some tips on the placement of home radiators.

There used to be definite rules to adhere to when it came to the best location for your radiators. Now a days, these rules are not set in stone. Due to the increase in double glazing and loft insulation we loose less heat than before which gives us more flexibility than ever.

Traditional Techniques

Usually the only place recommended for the living room radiator to go was beneath the window as this is where most of the heat escaped and also where cold drafts were let in. Double glazing puts an end to both these problems and while the window may still be the coldest spot it is no longer as noticeable. The best place for you will depend on your individual room and the size and shape. Luckily there are flat panel radiators of all shapes and sizes designed to fit into the most awkward shaped rooms.

Modern Methods

With new and more complex designs appearing on the market the possibilities are endless. The models that are popular today look completely different to the radiators of old. There are mirrored radiators with stunning curves and vertical designs that defy gravity. If you are looking for a sleek version of the traditional radiator flat panel radiators are ideal. There are still a few don'ts that apply to modern times such as not putting radiators in close proximity to furniture for example wooden dining tables and chairs. Due to the versatility of flat panel radiators you can place them vertically or horizontally on the wall saving you a great deal of space. They are available in a number of widths ensuring that there is one to fit your space.
