Where to position a radiator in your room.

There is no one perfect place for where to position a radiator in your room and it is really down to a few things that are governed by you and the things that you encounter on the job. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="225"] Position your radiator where your style and space will allow.[/caption] Firstly you need to decide where is the best place for you to position a radiator according to the location of your furniture and what suits you best. Then it is a question of working out the BTU or Watts that you require to heat the room. Do you need one or two radiators or if it is an open plan kitchen diner then you may want three all offering a slightly different feature or not as the case may be. The next thing to establish is what style you want and what type of room it is being used for. If it is a hall the decisions are based on narrow areas and cold possibly draughty areas but you may want to make a statement with a really   amazing raw metal radiator that is great for well used areas because it stays clean and is more resistant to fading and scratching. So depending on the room and the radiator that you choose there will be lots of choices available to suit all tastes.
