Hi We have a very cold bathroom it has 3 solid brick outside walls, it has a small single radiator 600 x 600. The room is 2.5m x 2.6m. I want to change the radiator for a bigger one, I calculated about 1300 watts is needed. Does anyone know if a single radiator 1400 x 620 feel would feel hotter than a DP + one 720 x 800 due to bigger surface area covering outside wall or is it just personal preference?
 
1650 watts output is what you need for this bathroom.

I would personally fit either a 600 X 1000K2 or a 700 x 900K2 if this were my job.

Not a very good solution for a bathroom. I have one like this in my bathroom which replaced a double panel. Its a complete disaster.
Now you cannot use the rad as a towel warmer as the convection fins use up all the space.
The OP would be better of using two standard P1 type rads and weld them together to form a double panel and T the connections together .
