I have recently moved into a house with electric baseboard heaters. My
living room has a very large window and an electric baseboard heater below
it that runs the full length of the window. There are curtains on the window
that we draw at night for privacy. The bottom of the curtains is about 6
inches above the baseboard heater. Last night we closed the curtains and for
the first time turned the heat on. The room got warm, but we noticed that a
lot of the heat was going behind the curtain and filling the space between
the curtain and the window. Is this right? Thanks to all.



If I were you , I would convert these radiators to true radiators and not
convection units as they are.
If you have no small children, remove any tin that blocks the radiant
energy from these units. and add deflectors over them to divert the
rising heat from the curtains.
good luck.
