Radiators under windows.

Should electric or central heating radiators be installed under windows?

    Apart from the possible waste of heat, placing electric heaters under windows has to be potentially dangerous as they may be covered with curtains if the users of the heaters don’t have the good sense not to cover them, as I have seen happen.




    Same as placing clothes or towels on top of them - if a thermostat is defective, they could overheat. Not possible with a wet radiator!
