    I have a space of about 650mm in width where I need to put a radiator. I require 6500 - 7000 btu to heat room.
    Is a a vertical radiator my only option? I haven't come across horizontal ones powerful enough yet (that are small enough in width of course).

    A Quinn adagio vertical rad will do the job 2000mmx770 . It will be more expensive but will do the job.

    You have to be careful with vertical radiators, a lot of them look great, but don't give out great heat.
    Ensure the heat output is suitable to your requirements.

    Would a vertical rad suit a bungalow or would a lot of the heat just go up through the ceiling ?

    the heat will only go through the ceiling if there is no insulation above it or very little. If thats the case you recitfy that first.

    most of a modern radiators heat is convective, so the majority rises upwards anyway.
