VIDEO - How to install a radiator under a window
In this excellent and informative video, James the plumber takes us through the process of installing a radiator under a window.
As James explains, no matter how good your double glazing, windows will always let a small amount of cold air into the home (when compared to brick walls, for example). So whenerever possible, plumbers always like to install radiators under windows so that the cold air immediately gets warmed up as soon as it enters the house.
In this particular house, it might appear that the gap underneath the window is too small to be able to fit a radiator underneath. However, due to the fact that Trade Radiators offers a wide variety of shapes and sizes of radiator, James shows that you can fit a rad in even the most awkward of spaces. James then runs through the process of measuring up the radiator, installing the brackets and then correctly hanging the rad so it looks great on the wall.
The process of fitting a radiator is surprisingly easy so it's definitely a job you can tackle yourself. However, as with any plumbing job, if you are unsure about any part of the process, it's always best to get in a professional to do the job properly.
