Hello,
We would like to skip a towel radiator in our small bathroom for the children (about 4 square meters (43 square feet)). Our architect suggested laying the underfloor heating pipes closer together instead. We have a gas heating system and a ventilation system. The plumber said that the room might not get warm enough without a towel radiator and recommended installing one. A temperature of 22 degrees Celsius (72°F) would be sufficient for us. Does anyone have a small bathroom with a shower and can share their experience regarding this?
Best regards,
Sabine

You can always install an electric heater later if it gets really cold. Just prepare the connection in advance.That’s a good idea, then we can still see if it’s enough.

Ask yourself what the purpose of a towel radiator is.
In a kids’ bathroom, it’s usually full of damp towels and won’t even come close to heating the room for you.
Best regards I see it very differently. In our main bathroom, we have one of those. I wondered for a long time why this room was always much warmer than the other rooms, until I realized it was the towel radiator. Then I turned it off, and all the rooms were the same temperature again.

There is a DIN standard that requires this. Without additional radiators, the target temperature may not be reached in some cases, which would be considered a deficiency. Therefore, a completely unnecessary towel radiator is initially planned to make the calculation work. If it is actually meant to dry towels, it must at least be electric.
