another heating insulation question:
the radiators are all under windows in my house. The cold spell has really made me think whether this is a good idea - but I can't afford to move them. So: should I get shortish curtains that can hang over the windowsill and be tucked behind the radiator (or does this mean that half the heat is going up the inside of the curtains?)
Or what is the best design??
there's no way that the curtains will fit inside the window alcove - the windowsill is only about 2 inches wide. But I have double glaxing and blinds on the inside and then the curtains go over that. (Still freezing though, but I am very susceptible to cold)
Sorry mods, just noticed the home energy forum, could you move this? (Done).
