hi there my lounge is 14.5 feet by 12.5 feet
it has a single radiator appx 9 foot long by 27.5 inches high
i want to change it for a small double one .
please can you tell me what size it should be ?
also it is on micro bore copper pipe .
any advice would be very much appreciated .

800 x 600 double has sufficed for my similar sized room but I would be a bit wary of the microbore pipework and would prefer 15 mm feed.

From what you have said this works out about 1550 watts. Therefore a Stelrad compact 600 x 900 K2 should do. If you need another make of rad then just look up size against the 1550 watts heat loss
