Yes it really is only for these cold weeks I will have an issue. They are in the cold spots. No furniture. I'll take trv's off. Plinth heater as suggested by someone may be the neatest solution. I did add on a few hundred BTU's to what I calculated but obviously doubling is the way to go! I...

you probably bought the correct BTU output though.. I bought too small.

I know the rads are too small, if you look at my original question it was nothing about rad calculations. It was "how to increase surface area" type question.

wasn't about aesthetics, I didn't have enough wall space. I'd have sooner had cheaper normal rads. but thanks for the useful post.

do you work on being so condescending or does it come naturally?

that's my impression of them. sh1te

Thanks. I award you the award of most useful reply.

yes I did use the calc and bought the appropriate btu rads but they don't heat room up enough.

horse has bolted fellas. calculations are meaningless now as the rads are already in. can't get fins so will need to either put up with it or drop some taller rads in.

I can always go from 1800 tall to 2100.. was just looking for a low cost easy fix.

I used a calculator on bestheating

i did ok for every other room. lets say I miscalculated.. can you get fins to increase surface area?

not sure tbh. they are screaming hot though all over the panels. I just think they are a bad design. horizontal rads shift a lot more air and have a far greater surface area with all the fins on a double panel.

I have just finished a 2 storey and a single storey extension. I calculated the BTU requirements for radiators. In my kitchen/family room there wasn't sufficient wall space for traditional rads so I had to buy the expensive vertical ones. I went a little over with the BTU but the room is still...

thanks.

I have seen a good deal on a bath filler tap, however I need a basin filler.. can the bath filler fit the basin. It is physically about the same size but the thread dimensions seem a little bigger These are the products in question...
