Hi all
My bedroom is just over 10m2 and has 2 radiators under the 2 windows. I am thinking of replacing them with these but they are technically listed as towel radiators. How would I know if they are warm enough to be suitable for my bedroom?

They're around 25% lower in heat output than standard radiators of the same size. As they are for a bedroom, I would say they will be ok, unless you like to sleep in a hot room.

Am I reading the figures correctly?The towel rad is 606 watts, and the rad the OP linked to is 2813 watts? The rad is a fair bit bigger, but that’s more than four times the heat output.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

Looks to be assuming that his current rad is a T22.
Even a similar sized (1000x 500) T22 would give out ~2000W at Delta T50 - still more than 3x the output.
Or if you go down to 800 (the connections centre of the towel rad) you are still at way more than 2x the output with a T22.3
