Hi everyone i need some advice i’m redecorating my house currently and finally have the space to dedicated a whole room to my bookcases! the issue is there’s a big ass radiator taking up more than half of one of the walls.
My idea is to remove it completely so I can just fit more bookshelves there instead but I’m unsure if it’s safe for my books?, my collection is massive (1500+ and counting) and don’t wanna take risks for them getting damaged. Humidity is the big issue in my country (UK) rather than temperature I’ve had my books for 10+ years already with BILLY bookcases and they’re still in great conditions so would anyone have any advice?

I’m not sure if precise answer but my Dad recently did the same (whole room dedicated to his books) and got a carpenter in to do custom made shelves.
Even if you don’t end up using them, getting a specialist to go through your options sounds like a good plan. They could tell you the best way to deal with the radiator, or alternative ways of keeping the room at the right temp/humidity to store books.
