Very slim radiator for in a narrow corridor?

[Ian H]

Could anyone recommend one?

It’s for a utility room under a clothes hanging rail and i’d like one that stays as close to the wall as possible.

Part of the room is a corridor that’s 84cm wide.

Thanks

Stelrad elite P1 are about 80mm wall to front of radiator https://www.stelrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/21351_Elite_Web-2.pdf

have previously removed 10mm of plaster behind the brackets to get the rad back further

A proper vertical radiator could also be considered

Looking at that a K1 might even fit if I go into the plasterboard a bit. Thanks

Barlo compact single convector radiators are only 75mm from the wall. I have a couple of round top convector rads in my house, bought them from plumbase I think, and they are only 70mm max from the wall. If you’re handy with a grinder or a file, you could modify the brackets to make the rad sit even closer to the wall.

I might be able to loose another 20mm off that too.

Would it be a problem for a radiator if the fins touched the wall?

It's all fun and games until you need to take the washing machine out

i am assuming there is no room behind the door ??

That was my first thought too

Go the whole hog and recess it.

I never thought of that!! I’d have to have the radiator not directly under the rail or I could move the rail accords. If I left 600mm I front of the washing machine and 600mm in from the door an 110m radiator would fit central on the wall.

No, that’s the downstairs toilet door.

Go the whole hog and recess it.

Ha ha!! I could warm 2 rooms at once!!

The rated output assumes the specified space behind for convection; it will be reduced somewhat if there is little or no gap. Which may or may not not matter to you.
