Don't Myson still make imperial sized radiators?... Just thought that it might life a tad easier.

yes they do - but haven't located anywhere that sells their imperial ones

i need

600 x 1170
600 x 1275
600 x 1330
600 x 1550

hence the predicament i'm in and why we're going to change to metric

Myson do 530 or 690mm x 1149, 1251,1352,1454 or 1556 among others.

Do you really want a round top though

I used to get imperial lengths from PTS until the very helpful guy left and I had to deal with the manager ( Acton ) who was the most unhelpful person you could ever imagine.

I dont remember the make but I am pretty sure they were round top.

Not that many sizes and perhaps just those listed above.

no i've seen some bog-standard radiators in wickes that you can get the converter kits for and they look nice - i don't really want the round top ones, no.

They were indeed metric sizes earlier - i presumed we were all in metric now

Anyhoo - thanks so much everyone for all your help!

I love this forum, gonna get loadsa information from it in my quest to do up my house!!!!

BES do some nice rad extensions, cheaper than Wickes.

That said plaster is cheaper at Wickes than it is at Jewsons, work that out!

Unless they have changed their supplier the Wickes are round top !
