Whilst remodelling the bathroom I need to move the existing radiator. The current 600 X 500 double panel convector has always made the bathroom really cosy especially first thing in the morning however according to an online calculator I only need a single panel 600 X 500 to give me 1643 BTU or 481W. The radiator will not have a TRV as it is the by pass radiator for the boiler so no temperature control.
SWAMBO really likes the comfort of the existing radiator and is questioning if going down to half size will keep the bathroom as cosy. Is there any merit in oversizing radiators or should I stick to one that produces the calculated output?
