In a room in my house I have a very large single panel un-finned radiator that I will probably replace with a smaller finned version, since it would not actually protrude that much further from the wall.
Can someone give a rough summary of the relative heat outputs of the different types. e.g. single panel un-finned, single panel finned, double panel shared-fins, etc.
Thanks,
Simon.

If you want something that has good output but it still reasonably slim,
take a look at Stelrad rads in the P+ configuration, they are double
panel but with only one set of convector fins. Output is around 75% that
of double convectors (2 panels with 2 sets of fins) which I find to be a
bit obtrusive.

FWIW I've found data sections of Stelrad info's to be well laid out in
terms of comparing the outputs of the different panel configs.

That's a Type 21 in more common terms, just for ref.

Yes, it is good but I do wish that it used Type 11, 21, 22 etc. as then I
wouldn't have to remember Stelrad's parlance.

Thanks for the info guys.
I shall be looking to replace a type 10 with a type 11, since the fins pretty much fit in the space taken by the brackets as far as I can see.
