ᐅ Underfloor heating beneath the bathtub and shower

Hello,

What is the standard nowadays? We want to do without individual room controls and install a brine heat pump that is sized as optimally as possible and operates efficiently.

To achieve these goals, is underfloor heating nowadays also installed under the bathtub and shower? Does this cause any issues (for example, the bathtub not being installed on the raw floor but on screed or something similar)?

How have you solved this in your homes?

Thank you!

We have underfloor heating throughout the house, and the bathtub is placed on a tiled floor. In the bathroom, the tile spacing is very narrow (about 5cm (2 inches)), and there is also a wall-mounted heater on one side of the shower. The room gets nicely warm, even though it is very large.

Install as large as possible.
A bathtub of course is not possible if it is to stand on the unfinished floor.
A shower should not be a problem.

Why wouldn’t this work if the bathtub is placed directly on the unfinished floor?
The pipes can be routed around or moved aside from the feet.
Every square meter of heat transfer surface counts.

Viewed quite pragmatically, nothing. However, you won’t find anyone who will build it for you with a warranty like that.

Our bathtub will be installed on the screed. The underfloor heating is located beneath both the bathtub and the shower.
