Size of rads, price difference

wayuphigh · 2025-10-21 19:45:32

Hi, sorry may be stupid question but I was looking to replace a type 21 500mm x 1200mm rad, but when I went looking the 600mm x 1200mm type 21 rad is 50 euro cheaper. Is there any reason for this? Any negative impact if installing the larger 600mm as opposed to the 500mm rad. Thanks in advance

With rads - go-big or go home. :)
I'm going to guess that it's demand-lead - the reason for the price difference is probably due to the higher sales of the more common 600mm rads.
