Curved radiators - any problems?

[Albumen]

I'd like to replace the curved radiator under a bow window. It's a fairly gently bow.

I see various people advertising them on the Interwebs. They usually seem to be single panel (presumably they have to be, to bend them).

Anybody any experience with these? Just that it seems to me a bid dodgy, welding steel panel together then bending them.

Anybody had any problems with leaks etc.

Cheers, Mike

After having some ridiculously expensive quotes and having some doubts eventually I got the radiator made by Greenfinch Engineering. Perfect!!! If you need one ask this guy for a quote - you would be surprised. It was worth my while to drive all the way from Surrey to Essex.

Do you think you could relocate it to another part of the room? Maybe buy a double panel high radiator instead.
