Hello,
I have a simple question. I'm replacing a radiator in my daughter's bedroom. The current radiator is a 20 yrs old single panel one. It seems to me it's a little bit too big for the room. The size of the radiator is 1600x600mm.
The room size is 3.94x2.71x2.3 (LxWxH), double glazing window (3.6m2 area), loft insulation (50cm+), one wall north facing, the other wall west facing. Insulated brick cavity wall.
I typed in these values in various online calculators and they return btu value between 2100 and 3000. I asked a friend of mine who is a plumber and he says the current radiator is an old iron one and it's not efficient compared to todays standards. He recommended to me to get about 2700btu and said a single panel radiator 500x1100mm should do the job.
I always want to ask twice than getting things wrong.
Any advice?
regards,
Simon
