Prior to getting new windows in my Living Room on 11th Jan I am doing some prep work and am siting a new radiator below the window .I did try a 600 x 900 that I had for the other end of the LR but it was going to be too tall so I ordered a 500 x 1000 that arrived unscathed this morning ...well done to the Fed-Ex one man team who carried it on his shoulder up 2 flights of stairs ... The new windows includes a new hardwood sill so I don't want it to be above the rad but is there an optimum position for the height of the rad or is it just down to personal choice .I don't know what thickness the new sill will be but working on it being the same as the old one ..about 20cm...the top of the rad will be about 20 cm above the sill. Does that sound about right . That lets me get rid of the full length curtains that I have now and get ones down to the sill ( or slightly below) which will close with the rad in front of them .
