−	Radiators are heat exchanging devices and are one of the oldest and most effective ways of heating buildings. Typically they consist of hollow metal panels through which hot water is pumped. Convector fins may be welded to the panels to increase their effective surface area, allowing more air to come into contact with the metal. According to British Standards, radiators should be placed on external walls, wherever possible under windows. This is because mounting is easier on external walls and these are usually the coldest parts of a room.	+	Radiators are heat exchanging devices and are one of the oldest and most effective ways of heating buildings.

	Radiators use the heat from hot water or sometimes steam to warm the surrounding air. The advantage of using steam is that it can flow through pipes under its own pressure without needing pumps. This is useful for large and tall buildings, however, steam is less efficient due to the higher temperatures at which steam systems operate.
