Surely the heat will escape through the glass? IT IS TRUE that heat is lost through the glass, but this location is used because it creates greater comfort, by counteracting the cold down draught, which is especially prevalent with single-glazed windows. The second reason for locating radiators under windows is that it allows greater flexibility when arranging furniture, which one does not normally place beneath windows. One way to avoid too much heat loss is to have a window sill that projects well over the radiator and curtains that stop on top of the sill. With this arrangement, the heat is directed out into the room instead of behind the curtain and out through the window. (Obviously, heat loss could be further reduced with double-glazing, especially if it is of the Low-E variety and with argon gas ins
