Default Rad for conservatory

The Medway Handyman wrote:
Looking to put a rad in a new conservatory which is 3m x 3m ceiling height
about 2.4m. Three outside walls.

One wall is double skin brick block with insulation, two walls are double
glazed floor to ceiling. Ceiling is transparent plastic - apparently with a
high insulation factor (but its not the triple wall stuff - its smooth).
Floor is chipboard - don't know whats underneath.

Tried this site http://www.radcalcs.com/ which reckons about 6,000 btu's -
but it doesn't have a pull down option for 'conservatory'.

Assuming this is right, its gonna need a 900 long x 620 high double or there
abouts.


Another option here would be one of the Myson fan assisted rads. These
will very much faster warm up times which can be handy for a
conservatory if it is not used as full time living space.
