Replacing Radiator for a towel rail - help with choosing

xlt_hunter · 17 September 2007 at 6:09PM

Any rad people here who could help me would be very gratful

I have a rad in the bathroom with the size as 20" x 24" in size single fing at the back I think. Installed in Oct 2003 when the house was built by Permissions. Now, I am changing a few things in the house to make it a home and one of them is to fit a towel rail in the place of the rad in the bathroom.

What size should I be looking for as the old one is 20"x24" hot water rad from the boiler (pipe work behind the rad and plastic piping)

Many Thanks

Mike

20" x 24" single panel radiator with convertor gives an output around 500watts or 1700 btu/hr, so you would be looking for something that gives a little more of a heat output than that, I suppose.

If you have a Jewson/Grahams by you, they are doing an offer on towel rails in chrome or white, 500mm wide x 1140mm high in white you should be able to pick up for around £70, that gives an output of 1800 Btu/hr.
