SWMBO wants the rad in the bathroom replaced with a heated towel rail.

I've noticed that white ones give out more BTU's than chrome. For a 1000
x 550 the white ts rated at 1493 and the chrome at 1119.

Emissivity

And curved ones give out slightly more than flat.

Why's that then?

Presumably slightly greater surface area.

The overriding rule is that they give out next to fook all if there are
any towels on the rails. By all means have a towel rail rad but don't
expect it to heat the room, have a separate rad for that.
