Can anyone give me a quick idea on the BTU requirements for a radiator
for a bathroom - approx 2metres square. insulated ceiling - 1920's
walls - double glazed window.
About 500W.
I calculated 875W for a bathroom 1.2m x 2.4m, 9" brick walls
(two external), insulated ceiling, small double glazed window,
using the Myson calculator. In practice, the Myson calculator
seems to have over estimated throughout the whole house (it
was a beta version), although that has meant I can run the
boiler at only 45C once house has warmed up, making the
condensing boiler very efficient, so I'm not complaining.
I'm sure Myson aren't either ;-)
I didn't use their radiators. Most of mine are Ultraheat ones.
I needed a few low height triple panel ones to go under some low
windows, and I liked the Ultraheat 6 range with bottom connections.
There's one Stelrad too, where appearance didn't matter so much.
