Hi,
How much more output would you get from a single finned radiator compared to an unfinned one of the same size?
I want to replace an old 1740mm x 700mm unfinned single radiator with a new 1800mm long finned single radiator. I'm already resigned to having to change the pipework slightly. What height should I buy? I've seen 450, 500 or 600mm as possibilities.
The heat output of the old one was just about right - I just want something a bit less ugly now that we're redecorating. I figured we could get a lower one if it was finned - I just need to know how low.
The room is open plan to the stairs and landing so I'm presuming that using the usual radsize calculators wouldn't be quite so straightforward.
