Hello,
I have a bathroom of 6 m² (65 ft²), fairly well insulated, with one exterior wall and otherwise only interior walls. There is a small window measuring 1.5 x 0.5 meters (5 x 1.6 feet).
The floor indoors consists of cross battens with OSB boards on top, followed possibly by tiles or laminate flooring, etc.
My question is: what kind of heating do I need? How much would it cost including a temperature controller, and how is it installed? Is the heating mounted above or below the OSB board? And is it possible to install it without screed or similar, meaning the heating is placed directly on the boards with the floor covering on top?
Can any electrician connect the heating system? What approximate costs should be expected, and is there anything specific to watch out for regarding moisture?
Best regards

In practice, they do not cool down completely there. The distance to the opposite wall should not be too large; otherwise, these units are not very effective. Right in front of them, they are quite warm. In our new house, a masonry stove and infrared heaters will be used, while the boys’ apartments will have infrared heaters and one wood-burning stove each (which they don’t have to use to keep warm). We don’t have these installed yet.
