Hi,

In my bedroom I have a conventional hot-water cast iron radiator. I
like the heat it provides, but I don't like so many other things
about it: it occupies space under a window, my roomba gets stuck
underneath it, it's not particularly beautiful, it collects a lot of
dust.

I'm currently in the process of designing bedroom cabinets and have
an opportunity to equip them with Hydrotherm radiators (2 at 8400 BUT
each). We have one in the bathroom and love it. So the plan is to
remove the cast iron radiator and replace it with two of these.

However, I am hesitating because it seems like a radical change. Any
disadvantages to what I'm planning that I may be missing?


I'd build a ventilated box for the existing radiator.

They even sell such things, metal, with a lid that opens.
