One Radiator or Two?

Posted by Aphid Overdo, on
I'm changing the radiators in my kitchen, I have calculated the required BTU (6500) and found I can achieve this with a single radiator, my question is does it matter if I have one radiator or two if the single radiator gives the same BTU metrics? A single radiator means I can but all the money into a single device, be aesthetically better and free up some room. I am planning on using a vertical radiator roughly 500-600 x 1800. It previously had two, one in the corner attached to an external wall and another more central on an internal wall. I rarely used the one on the external wall as I had something against it, the room was a little cooler (not cold) compared to other rooms.
