do I need to factor in anything if I want to go for a slightly bigger double pane rad?
I don't know the answer to this (do you need to consider whether your boiler is powerful enough?) but when I installed ^ those radiators ^ I didn't know that heat source pumps need bigger rads.
So when we do downstairs I am wondering the same thing - aesthetically we'd prefer smaller ones but if gas central heating is ultimately going to be done away with I don't want to have to rip up all our nice original restored floorboards to put in bigger rads...

Sorry to hijack the topic of new rads, but what with the price of gas I'm thinking of increasing the rad size in the most commonly used room (lounge) to use the fuel more efficiently. Currently an old (imperial sized) single pane thing which feels like it doesn't do much to the room temp- do I need to factor in anything if I want to go for a slightly bigger double pane rad?
