Replacement of radiators

[spirelli]

I would like to remove these 2 standard radiators:

These are located on two opposite sites of the room. I'd like to remove one of them completely, and to replace the other one with a larger, but low height radiator.

For the new radiator I have up to about 4.7 metres space:

I have the following questions:

• Can people recommend any not too expensive low height radiators on the market? I imagine something up to 40 cm in height, the lower the better.

• The capacity of this radiator should be higher than the current two combined. How is something like this measured?

• The issue is that the pipes are bang in the middle of the space (red dots). I imagine that pieces of hose can be used as an extension, rather than re-laying the pipes. Is this correct?

Many thanks for any replies.

What garden hose ?

Pantyhose

It may be advisable to get someone in to calculate the heatloss properly and do it for you because there could be alot of modifications with the pipework that you may not feel comfotable doing.

OP - there are plenty of sites which will help calculate BTU output By searching for your own stated current radiator, you'll find that the heat output will be provided in the product details.

In fact, I have found just the one for you on that sam website.

Maybe not what you had in mind though

Anyway, it's a starting point. What sort of flooring do you have, since relocating the pipes under this will look better, obviously
