Hi, We are currently in the process of renovating and are creating a large open lounge space which will have our kitchen, dining area and lounge area. We are having some trouble with location and radiators and hoping you can help here.
One wall is taken up with the kitchen units, another wall for the sliding glass doors onto garden and a third wall that has the room doors and tv.
This leaves us with just one wall for heating. I am hoping this will be ok as this is the wall where the sofas, etc will be positioned. and I guess generally kitchens do not require much heating.
The room dimensions are 6mx7mx2.5m, we are thinking of installing the following radiators
- Standard double convector/panel radiator - 2400mmx500mm at the front lounge area (right wall) - 16626 BTU
- Tall vertical designer radiator - 445mmx1800mm - 6913 BTU (right wall) next to glass doors
Both are marked as the green items on the right wall on the attached floor plan.
Worth also mentioning that the garden is north west facing and the left wall is an outside wall. Also, we will have 2 x 1500x1500mm velux roof lights in the ceiling of the extension.
Taking all that into account, is this enough BTU output to heat a room of this size, layout and will the warmth still distribute evenly across the room?
Appreciate any help, this has got us really confused about what to do.
PS - underfloor heating isnt an option. thanks.
