If

cheers

Nope, you'll probably need a new radiator, unless it's really for looks. They only really heat the stuff that's within say 5ft and they are terrible at space heating unless you have a relatively small room or you fit a few of them, where basically one would have done the job before. If it needs a baffle one but hasn't already come with one then that's it's really poor quality manufacturing.

If you really want to fit a baffle then it would usually be 2/3 tubes in

Mid size room.about 3mx3m but. Concrete floor and where the pipes are both walls are ony about 700mm wide so best I could do but thanks I thought 2 or 3 tubes would be about right to get a good flow the other side
Cheers

You do get 300/400/500/600/700mm wide K2(type 22) vertical rads @1600 up to 2200mm in height. Far superior and much more efficient @ space heating.
