All the rads in our place are what I would call standard panel rads found in most homes. None of them have any fins on the back to boost surface area.
Looking around, there are lots of differnt radiator types, different brands, different materials. Aluminium rads are getting some attention because they are apparently cheaper to run, old fashioned looking cat iron ones are popular for the look.
So if you were putting in a couple of 2000-2200 BTU, or a 6000 BTU what knowledge would you be going out armed with? Is a Wickes rad better than a B&Q rad? Are aluminium ones really better? Where would you be buying yours from?
