When you say horizontal, how do you mean? Just a normal convecting radiator or a designer type? You do get flat panel, contemporary looking rads that are convectors BTW.
Radiator replacement - should we go for higher BTU than needed?

I see what you mean now, so even the designer tubular ones that are horizontal wouldn't be as good? If we went for an horizontal radiator and the sofa is in front of it we would go for a normal convecting radiator.
The vertical one we were looking is this one, it's aluminium but not sure what type

You really can have that if you prefer, output sized appropriately.
Thanks, from the online calculators the room would need about 5700-6000 BTU for the living room (room is only 4x4m - 2.3 ceiling). Do you think going to a 8000BTU is a good option?
Also I've seen people talk about doing heat loos survey but it does look quite expensive. Our house is from the mid 1990 so fairly recent.

Most custards don't!
And is why it's standard practice to add 20% when supplying... But that is like forbidden fruit, nowadays, when customers think they can save a few quid by ordering stuff online!
Trouble is... The online suppliers don't have a clue what they're selling and don't care!
Does the room ever feel very cold or generally comfortable?
