When you are building a home, every detail matters, including the radiators. The position of each one is going to influence its efficiency. As for what the ideal location is, it will often be the coldest area of the room. In the past, this would have been under the window. With more contemporary double-glazing in houses though, they might not be a cold spot. Thus, you may be able to place radiators where they are not going to affect the use of your walls. A general rule is having one for every 4m or so in an area.

A newer home

If you live in a newer home and are wondering where to put your radiators, there are numerous options. Because of the available space, many people will still put them under their windows. But, there is an impressive collection of radiator types to choose from these days. They can aid you in making the most of the space in your rooms.

For those short on horizontal space, you can choose a vertical radiator. These work well in bathrooms and kitchens. You can use one to maximise the floor to wall space as they have a smaller footprint.

Doors

In more compact rooms, you might decide to put a radiator behind a door. Radiators shift heat around a space via convection. Therefore, having them next to or behind a door should not be too problematic. However, this will depend on the temperature of the room. The majority of them shall lead to a hallway. These are typically cold. Thus, the heat will go right to a colder spot.
