Though probably one of the most contentious radiator questions – with mixed feelings about what the correct answer is – there isn’t a right or a wrong place to hang a radiator.
best place to hang my radiator
Obviously, on the ceiling or three-quarters of the way up a wall are probably not ideal places, but common sense should prevail.
The main argument is that a radiator should be placed near an area of heat loss—like under a window, for example—so that any cold air entering the room can be met by the warm air from the radiator and circulated throughout the space.
However, a school of thought suggests that installing radiators away from colder areas of a room is more cost-effective.
So, it’s understandable if there is a little confusion.
There is a simple answer to this problem though: select a position for your new radiator based on the layout of your room.
There are no real rules to the position of a radiator and it doesn’t have to stay where is right now. In truth, moving may mean that you can use your available space more efficiently and create a feeling of more space.
This is easily achieved with more modern tall vertical radiators and can be further enhanced with middle connection radiators too – as this style makes a slimline radiator even thinner, thanks to the valves being on the bottom of the radiator instead of the sides.
