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.

Simply shutting it off so that only the current water in the radiator is heated doesn’t work?Then you don’t have any circulation in the radiator. I don’t think it will get completely warm that way.

Do towel radiators even make sense?They heat (or warm) the hand or bath towel... (nomen est omen). Otherwise, you could probably do without these devices (we never use them – I wouldn’t buy them again).

Ok, but I’d rather have something like that than an ugly standard radiator in the bathroom, wouldn’t you?Yes, definitely... But we have underfloor heating (okay, it runs in winter) – which provides enough warmth and each room can be controlled individually. In summer, you simply don’t need a towel warmer. And honestly, not really in winter either.
I have a towel radiator in each bathroom to ensure the temperature reaches 24°C (75°F) as calculated. I always keep them set to level 5 and was able to lower the flow temperature of the heating system this way. Of course, the towels do not get warm at a flow temperature of 25-33°C (77-91°F), depending on the outside temperature.
