 1. Enter your Room Dimensions (in feet)
Width (feet): Length (feet): Height (feet):

This guide gives the total heat requirement for the room. The radiator you require may not need to provide all of this as other radiators in the room must be taken into account. Outputs for individual radiators are given in the drop down boxes on the specific radiator page.
NOTE: Radiator outputs on this website are given at Delta T 50oC in accordance with BS EN442 and European Legislation.
