Hi, in our house construction, we have installed underfloor heating everywhere. According to some calculation, it was said that we still need a radiator in the bathroom.
I have now emailed the plumber and asked if we could have a towel warmer instead of a regular radiator.
The additional cost would be 75€ + VAT.
That’s not the issue. It is white and curved forward in shape. It is the model "Purmo Flores."
Now I have seen that it is a hot water model connected to the underfloor heating. So it only has a low flow temperature.
Now the question is, does it actually provide enough heat to warm up properly on very cold days when bathing the children? Or would an electric towel warmer be better?
I asked him this and received the following answer:
[I]"The term is loud towel radiator and it is only intended for residual heat generation. It has the same temperature as the underfloor heating but can also be equipped with an electric heating element (90€ + VAT) on request."
Now I just wanted to ask you how you see this? Online it says that for a bathroom with underfloor heating, an electric towel warmer would be more practical.

We control it fully electrically, on and off via an additional light switch with an LED, so you can see whether it’s on or off. The advantage is that it heats up extremely quickly and only uses electricity when it’s actually needed. At half past three in the morning, a cool bath on February 10th doesn’t bother me at all. But by 7 a.m., I want it warm quickly. Karsten
Why do you think it wouldn’t get warm enough in winter? I don’t understand. You are installing the latest heating technology, and desired temperatures are taken into account during the design.

At half past three in the morning, you won’t have a cold bath anymore. Even without KfW standards, night setback is outdated.

No idea, that’s why I’m asking if it’s enough in cold winter, like underfloor heating in the bathroom without feeling cold when you’re naked, especially for small children during bathingIf you tell the designer you want a bathroom at 24°C (75°F), they will deliver that.
In the worst case, they might say the underfloor heating pipes cannot be spaced any closer, they can’t reach the temperature with the small floor area, and then recommend other measures like wall heating or additional solutions.
