Hi everyone, first of all thank you in advance for your help this site is fantastic. OK so stupidly I left my radiator outside when redecorating and ruined it. The radiator was 2100 wide and the nearest one I can find is 1800. (the radiator was ancient) The problem is I have had my laminate floor laid throughout two rooms and I cant get access under the floor easily so what is the best way in your experience to make this gap up. Is it a case of re directing copper pipe and looking having it on show which I think will look like a shoddy job or is there a better way to do things. If the worst comes to the worst and I have to add copper pipe I will cover it with furniture but obviously wanted to ask the pros first!! The original pipework for bigger radiator is still in place hope I covered everything and I look forward to your response/advice.
