Agile is not time served nor does he possess any qualifications regarding the plumbing and heating industry.
He is not a time served gas man either.

you never know when you will need a new aerial though Steel so be careful unless you have your own oscilloscope, ERM meter, sari , copious bottles of wine , condoms for PRVs ,oyster cards , Laith ,welding gear, and someone today from London had the audacity to not call one of the 100 top gas engineers, not to mention that by the amount of Vokera Lineas that he visits then there must be 500,000 still in use, all these top companies could save a fortune just by employing super Tony, I would bet that Vokera could not give a figure about how many of the Lineas are still fitted , so they should employ Tony as a consultant

My pennys worth.
wanted a vertical designer rad in living room,my merchant told me to use 2 vertical designer rads as it will spread the heat around the room,the single (1 number) double rad would just heat a small area.
Was also told if the room is L shaped use 3 radiators,the idea was spread of heat.
So purchased 2 single vertical rads (which can also be fitted horizontally) the glossy brochure shows the flow/return connections in the bottom fittings but the installation instruction sheet said (in pictures) use a top connection for the flow and return connection at bottom same side.so i did.
The hot water flow through the radiators was very impressive,heated up very quickly and heated the room throughout,very quickly.
Ditch the trv is also a good idea if it closes down early due to room space restriction.
Maybe an electric plinth heater could be used just for the very cold days as a back up.
Good luck.

Feckin cowboy what is that in KW
Feckin cowboy give the answer in KWs any proper engineer uses KWs anyone else should not be trusted, wonder what will happen if Brexit goes through and we have to go back to BTUs does that mean that Tony will not be in the top 100 anymore ?
hey at least the ceiling would be warm but neither mind at least it looks good 
do you work on being so condescending or does it come naturally?
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.hey at least the ceiling would be warm but neither mind at least it looks good
Sensei says.... Rads hot, room cold, rads too small.
Not much more to say on the matter.
Comes with being time served. It's harsh, but fair.

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.
