Reply to "Help me design an attic layout"

ASYMAIR95, if you close the attic door and notice the room is getting cold, you may have to put a few 1"or 2" dia. holes in the layout against the wall above the baseboard radiator. Sorry I just started following your project this morning. I would have suggested leaving a gap between the wall and the layout above that radiator. Radiators have to move the air in the room through them, by means of convection, as quickly as possible to heat the room at the same speed as the room with the thermostat in it. If you don't allow for the heat to raise, the heat will be trapped under the layout. You may have to put a small fan under there to help move the heat into the room. Which ever you do, it will help to keep the tracks from expanding and contracting over the radiator. Also, if you hang curtains off the front of the layout, keep a gap between the floor and the curtains so that the cold air in the room can move to the radiator.
