 Most people can point out the coldest parts of the house within seconds, and they are usually located near windows and doors. Therefore, when it comes to fitting new radiators, or even adding additional ones, it is best to catch the cold at the source.
Cast iron radiators are the conventional cold-stoppers in the house, as they fit perfectly under the window or near a door. There are a large variety of cast iron radiators, which means that you are able to choose different sizes to compete with different areas of cold.
A full sized cast iron radiator is usually used for windows, but if you are looking for a little something more from the appearance, some people chose to buy lower cast iron radiators and cover them as a seating area. This allows the heating properties to still be effective, but also provides a nice place to relax.
Smaller cast iron radiators also work well in the porch, where most of the cold air comes in. Placing a small cast iron radiator next to the shoebox or under the coat stand provides extra functionality by drying the wet outdoors wear as well as heating the first point of entry.
