RE: Radiator efficiency...

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

The biggest factor in her assesment (apart from the actual temperature
in the room) is probably the thermal conductivity of the surfaces she's
in contact with. Apart from when she's actually in the bath, this means
the floor and the loo seat.

Suggest you chuck a bathroom mat in their, get her to stand on that, and
then tell you whether the room's cold!

The other thing is - get a thermometer and read the ambient
temperatures, eh?

(I assume you've checked the valves, and both rooms are fully on.)

Indeed, the surface temperature of both rads is the same (bloody hot!),
but
the bathroom does have a lot more "cold" surface materials than
the
bedroom.
- Laminate wood floor, 50% tiled walls, the other 50% is just painted
plaster etc...

Seems likely....
