Hi, I have a question about the position of radiators in a house
In the houses where I have noticed, radiators always seem to be on the wall where the window is - i.e. under the window.
I have only really noticed this in old (victorian) terraced houses (3 or 4 come to mind).
Is there a reason for this.
I the previous houses I have lived in the rads where all on the window walls. I have recently moved into my house (100 yr old terraced) and some of the rads are on walls where there are no windows. The only reason I can think why they are mostly on windowed walls is for practical reasons. In that you would not really want to put anything else on/near the wall (TV,Sofa or other furniture).
I am finding the layout of the room a bit awkward because of this. Two wall are effectively taken up (one with the window andonw with the rad), so I am thinking of moving them
But is there some other (other than room layout reasons) why rads are on the same wall as windows?
Thanks
