Hi there,
I'd like to replace a radiator in our bathroom for a slightly bigger one as the room is quite cold. The current rad is type 21 (two panels, one big convector) 700mm high and 400mm wide. I can't fit a wider rad than 400mm.
Looking at rads of similar sizes I think that this one should give about 2000-2500BTUs.
I'm trying to find a taller rad with a maximum width of 400mm, but 700mm seems to be the highest that's widely available. I found vertical/column and designer rads which are 380mm wide and up-to 1800mm tall but they are quite expensive (£200+) and none of them is convecting.
My questions are:
Is it possible to buy a "normal" panel convecting rad which is higher than 700mm? If not, will a non-convecting rad give twice as much heat if its BTU is two times higher comparing to a convecting rad?
Thanks a lot
