Swapping two 1200k1s for column towel radiators

[Matt887]

I'll have to work out the rooms heat loss. But is it likely 2 tower column radiators would heat this room. If swapped out the normal radiators

It depends on what the manufacturers states about their heat output and what temperature you intend running your flow at.

Fitting something like this

Thanks yes id have to measure the room and work out the heat loss

 

[Matt887]

And then see what output the column radiators are giving

IME those column rads are less efficient at heating rooms as the conventional types.

Yes, column radiators look very trendy but rely mainly on radiation to heat the room. The conventional panel radiators with "wavy steel" behind them or between two panels mainly heat via convection, so warm air continually rises from them. This is more efficent at heating a room.

LOL at wavy steel. I had to think for a minute or so before it dawned on me .. finned convector radiators

It looks like quiet a big room. Main living room.
