Good evening,
We have the opportunity to get two towel radiators from Schulte for a low price, but we are unsure if they will work with our planned heat pump. Both models operate with hot water and have a thermostat connection.
1.77 m (5 ft 10 in) long and 77 cm (30 in) wide. No. 1 for the main bathroom, No. 2 for the guest bathroom.
Should we go for it or are they useless?

During the construction meeting for the main bathroom, we were also asked whether we wanted an electric heating element in the towel radiator or to connect it to the underfloor heating. We decided to go with the underfloor heating option, even though we knew it wouldn’t provide much heating power. Our general contractor had already informed us about this beforehand.
In the WC, I would probably choose only electric heating. The shower there is likely to be used less frequently than the one in the main bathroom. Therefore, the electric towel radiator probably won’t be in use very often.

Because of course, heating with pure electric heaters is still more expensive than with an air-to-water heat pump... even though both run on electricity :-)not really...

Why not save that money or install a towel radiator with an electric cartridge instead?

With the temperatures required for underfloor heating, you really can’t warm anything up using a towel radiator.I understand that, but what exactly doesn’t work is unclear (bathroom too cold could be one answer; also: towels too cold ;-) ).Mycraft schrieb:
Why not just save the moneyThis is probably a good idea; so don’t install a towel radiator at all. Instead, opt for a proper towel rail. For us, it’s too late now ...Bieber0815 schrieb:

That is probably a good idea; so, not installing a towel radiator at all. Instead, better to have a proper towel rack. For us, it’s too late now...In our case, the towel radiator (connected to the underfloor heating circuit) was included. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have installed one. An electric cartridge would have been an extra charge, although I don’t know how much. I plan to discuss this topic again with our plumbing specialist when the time comes.
