What radiator size please?

[wayfarer]

The recommended radiator size for my bathroom is 2500BTU. The rad. I have chosen is available in 2258 BTU and 2741 BTU.
The smaller one will fit better but I would not want to compromise the heat output by choosing it just because it looks better in place.

Bathroom size is 7' x10' x8' high with one outside wall (7') and a double glazed window.

Any advice on which one I should go for will be very welcome.

Wall covering eg fully tiles ?

Dot and dabbed plasterboard over original partly half-tiled finish, now all paint finish. Wood floor.

I would go too side if you can eg 2741 as tiles will cool it down

Thanks; better to go large than not have enough heat in there I guess.

Can you go for a taller one to give you the higher output without making it feel cramped on width?

Thanks for all the replies.
