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 also have underfloor heating, but an additional radiator still needs to be installed in our bathroomIf it is necessary, then that is definitely an option I would consider as well.
The question is, what exactly do you want?
According to the calculations, you won’t be able to reach 24°C (75°F).
Option 1:
If you want a constant 24°C (75°F) in the bathroom, connect the radiator to the heating system and use it as an extension of the heating surface.
Option 2:
If 22°C (72°F) is usually sufficient and you only need higher temperatures occasionally, use a towel radiator with an electric heating element and turn it on only when necessary.
Option 3:
If you definitely want warm towels, you will need a towel radiator with an electric heating element, but you should be prepared for potentially higher costs.
By the way, in our guest bathroom, the towel radiator is often also used in autumn and winter to dry wet clothes and shoes for the child. Even though the temperature isn’t very high, the clothes dry relatively well.

Then you have no circulation in the radiator. I don’t think it will get completely warm thenI believe the heating cartridge is installed on one side at the bottom. Normally, warm water would rise on that side, and cold water would sink on the other side. This way, the water would circulate automatically.
