How far from the floor should a radiator be?

FAQ banner image

Radiators should typically be mounted so that the foot of the radiator is positioned a minimum of 150mm from the floor – though anywere from around 100mm x 150mm should suffice if your space allows.

The height of nearby floorboards and skirting could influence how high a radiator is fitted, if only for aesthetic reasons, and you may sometimes want it to sit a little higher or lower.
