Hello, I’d like to move the radiator’s pipes into the wall, so that they come out of it horizontally and above the skirting
I am also likely to fit a wider (but single panel) radiator to better match the width of the window
I think it’s better not to have any fitting inside the wall so I might create two C shaped section of pipes (with one end being below the floor and the other one above skirting level, with the vertical part in the chased section of the wall)
Do I need to fix the pipe to the wall and wrap it in insulation before having the wall plastered?
Is it better to use plastic pipes?
I’ve seen some houses where the radiator has both (plastic) pipes coming from the centre of it (I guess this gives some flexibility in case a radiator of a different size is fitted later)
