Finally I found a better balcony heating

Hello, friends.

I already wrote, how to insulate a balcony last fall. I did there job. I decided to test the insulation and heating completely abandoned. A year has passed. It is possible to summarize, draw conclusions and, finally, to make a final decision on the heating.

Now balcony - my office, where I spend most of their time. It insulates it thoroughly. I put a good double-glass. I took the thickness of the insulation with a margin. Balcony is bordered to the kitchen, which by definition is warmer than all the other rooms. He hoped that the open door is enough to warm the balcony. The hypothesis proved to be true, but with a small caveat.

On the balcony is really warm. Even at thirty-degree frost temperature of 22-24 degrees. But sometimes we had to wrap up in a sweater. The trouble is downstream of cold air from the window. I had to think about heating.

Without radiator convection currents direction is reversed. Warm air near the ceiling cools and moves along the windows down. If you sit by the window, blowing significantly. The flaps thus sealed!

Different heating systems is a major drawback. Window wide, and all radiators are relatively narrow. They can not uniformly heat the air along the entire length of the window. I was looking for a "long" radiator or convector. But the result was always the same.

Heaters desired me too powerful length. You can put them on a minimal heating, but overpaying for unused power wastefully. Not so long ago found the best option for all parameters.

I saw in the store leaflet warm baseboards. This long compact radiators, which put in place along the entire wall skirting (there is water and electric). Power is small. The price is acceptable. You can choose the length by the width of the window. Just what I was looking for!

After two weeks, I promised to bring the radiator in my size. Waiting. But I want to warn you. To sell a product, managers greatly extol its virtues. Scope warm baseboards limited. However, this in a separate article. On this I have everything. Thanks for reading and subscribe to a channel.
