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.

toxicmolotof21 Jul 2017 13:05Your problem: The area of the underfloor heating in the bathroom is too small.
The solution: Increase the area of the underfloor heating.
With what: Radiator
Your wish: Warm towels
Not with: Underfloor heating
With what: Electric heating element
The electric heating element would compromise the energy calculation.

toxicmolotof21 Jul 2017 13:21Incorrect: It is not a towel warmer. It is an underfloor heating surface extender in a design similar to those used for towel racks or towel warmers (because they are structurally identical).
Therefore, the name does not really matter.
If it is essential for the energy calculation, no electric heating element should be installed. And you will not get warm towels.

Bau-Schmidt21 Jul 2017 13:40I have also installed underfloor heating and a towel radiator (Cosmo EHS 600).
Well, whether this matters for any calculation doesn’t concern me anymore, since everything has already been approved.
Why don’t you get warm towels if there’s an electric heating element inside?
They should become even warmer than without it.
@Bau-Schmidt, is yours connected to the underfloor heating as well?
Is it warm enough in the bathroom during winter?
