Hi - I was wondering if anyone could advise. Trying to figure out the best place for radiators.

 

Any help appreciated!

Where is your boiler/heat source? You might want to simplify pipe runs by keeping radiators closer to this area. Also depends on your beams - we've go I-Joists which have strict rules about cutting holes in the web - so routes have to planned around this. If you have open webbed joists it'd be a different story.

Our architect placed the radiators under the windows. However this isn't really necessary. A good option tends to be on the wall as your walk into a room as you aren't going to want to put furniture there.

Plan your rooms, where are you putting bed,  dressing table, draws, the space left is four radiators.

 

You can always use tall ones. If sized for a low temp ASHP (i.e. you have to have for the grant) you need big ones. Or use a smaller footprint fan coil. These can be wall mounted or ducted and come out the ceiling through grills.
