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.

And curved ones give out slightly more than flat.

Why's that then?

Generally, replacing a properly sized rad with a towel rail will result in
a cold bathroom. Remember the towel rail is covered most of the time so
won't give it's rated output towards heating the room. Can you fit one in
addition to the rad? Nothing wasted if you have TRVs.
