Hi all,
My customer wants to install a vertical radiator in his living room (to replace a conventional double panel/single fin rad). His reasons are aesthetic.
We've done a heat loss calculation through the website bestheating.com, through which he intends to buy the rad. The loss is 1.28 watts.
It will be the only heat source in the room, which measures 3.3x4.5m (so a medium sized living room).
This rad has taken his fancy:
Milano Aruba - White Vertical Designer Radiator 1600mm x 354mm (Double Panel)
But at 1.36w, it's a bit borderline on the heat output.
The next one up is 2 watts, but double the price (£319).
My thoughts are that he'd be better off with the larger rad, which will be fitted with a TRV. (Hanging a second rad would mean running a lot of new pipework, which I'm not sure he wants to do).
What do you all reckon?
Thanks for your advice,
Jennie
