Hello, I have reviewed some previous posts but I am not sure they have given me the answer.
I am replacing a bathroom radiator that was always too small. According to some of the calculators I need about 900 watts or 3500-4500 BTUs, depending on the calculator. Room is 3.7m x 2.4m x 2.6m. Room is above kitchen, has one external wall (220mm brick) with a 2.4m sq DG window. Above is part sloping/flat roof with no insulation (1/3), part insulated loft (2/3).
Looking at the same radiator on different website it has different reported wattages and BTUs.
Could you advise whether this radiator would likely meet the needs of the room?

It is variously reported as being 3029-3996 BTU at 60 deg, or 888w-1171w on different websites (definitely same rad with same product code).
On a separate note, is there any reason why there would be different wattages and BTUs at the same temp?
It has taken all day to get the the pipes so don't want put in a rad that is too small and have to do it all again!
Thanks in advance.
