How do you measure the size of a radiator?
Just take your tape measure across the furthest point of your radiator, from one side to the other, for an accurate measurement of width. Then, do the same for the height, use the tape measure from the foot of the radiator to its highest point.

How do you determine what size radiator you need for a room?
In most cases 1-2 radiators will suffice, however for larger rooms you may require more. The amount of BTU’s required per radiator will depend on how many radiators are within the room – so divide the total BTU requirement by the number of radiators to calculate the average BTU’s required per radiator.
What’s the difference between Type 11 21 and 22 radiators?
The difference between Type 22 and Type 21 convector radiators is that in Type 22 radiators, there are two sets of convector fins inside the radiator. These obviously push out more heat and are thicker than your average Type 21 radiator.
Does a bigger radiator give more heat?
The longer the panel, the larger the heat emitting surface area, so bigger radiators will emit more heat, but also remember that a double panel radiator will emit more heat than a single panel radiator of the same length.
