Are the pipes fastened in to the wall? How big is the room? Any aesthetic considerations?
Check out the BTU rating and double check the Delta they used to calculate it, they like to cheat.
Whatever the calculators say double it,
Stelrad or Barlow are the makes to go for and get your plumber to balance the system properly and forget about all this TRV nonsense everyone has fallen for.
What exactly does balancing the system involve and it's purpose?
I've been learning bits and pieces about central heating and this is something I've not quite gotten into my head yet heard it mentioned several times.
Not all radiators will get the same flow, due to pipe length and any bends. So you use the valves to allow the flow on the faster radiators.
An easy way to do it is each time you turn the heating on fine the radiator that gets hot first, turn the valve down a bit.
Keep doing this until they all warm up about the same time.
It's best to balance using the TRV valve settings, you need to take the head off to access this and usually need a special tool. Using the lockshield works but it's a pain if you ever need to remove the rad in the future.
Balancing isn't as big an issue these days with trvs anyway as each room warns up the TRV shuts down the flow and other radiators get a boost in flow.
I'm in the process of replacing mostly 1970s single panel radiators with new type 11 radiators of similar dimensions. They should kick out a lot more heat...
It appears BTU calculating is a black art! No website says the same!

That one is well regarded as being pretty accurate.
