Designer rads look great and if you are within 3 ft of them then you'll be nice and warm, any further away and you won't be.Do elaborate?
That applies to any designer column radiator that has solid tubes be it round/oval/square etc. Those figure are with a double column in mind, the singles would be a lower convection rate ~10%Can I ask would the same apply to horizontal designer oval column radiators or just vertical ones?
And will double panel vertical radiators help in any way?
Apart from the way a "tall" column rad distributes its heat, it can be quite difficult to get the rads themselves to heat up properly due to internal waterway restrictions etc, some do give their rated output by having internal baffles installed to assist circulation. If you are buying one you should insist that it has these baffles, or walk way if you are told they don't. As suggested maybe look at Stelrad, whatever design you choose.So just to clarify, despite the designer rad being advertised at 3500 btu which is way more then my old radiator, it will not emit less heat?
All these designer rads will emit the heat they advertise, they have to, they just don't do it in a way that heats the space in the room efficiently.So just to clarify, despite the designer rad being advertised at 3500 btu which is way more then my old radiator, it will not emit less heat?
Depends which ones - As long as the rad is a convecting rad then yes so it would need to be a type 11/21/22 IMOStelrad designer radiators??
