Hello,
I am wanting to put a chrome towel radiator in my bathroom.
A 600 x 800 would fit nicely.
I am however confused. Some are advertised as 1100 Btu, others are 2050 Btu.
How can there be such a big difference from towel radiators that look similar.
Additionally, how can I tell that the 2050Btu towel raditor that I buy is not really an 1100
Thanks in advance
Have they both got the same number of verticle crossbars?
can you give a link to the ones you are talking about?
When they have towels on them, they are 0 Btu/hr, near as damn it. I would not assume it will provide any significant room heating, unless you never put any towels on it.
Generally radiator outputs are quoted at rather high water temperatures. You need to downrate their outputs to match your actual radiator temperatures. You'll find a table for doing this in a radiator spec leaflet.
Also, people normlly work in Watts nowadays, not Btus/hr.
Probably Ones A Single The Others A Double Convecto

When I have looked at these the differences in that factor are usually chrome versus white. Might be worth checking that.

the top one gives out around 30% more power.
Additionally does any one know if you can get wider towel radiators.
It is going under a window so can be no more than 800 high but can be up
1600 widethanks
Dunno; odd that the top one has fewer horizontal elements, isn't it?
It seems very odd to me that it's so hard to find these beasts in anything other than 'portrait' format; we had just the same problem recently - under the window was the only available wall space in the bathroom. We eventually found a suitable one at at

I've never seen this site before
it is a shame the chrome ones are so expensive :-(
I don't suppose you know what "Colours" they come
that could be intersting !
