Hi,
I have already read a few threads, but I still have a question.
We are getting a guest toilet in our new home, and we are adding a shower to it. The guest toilet will have about 3 square meters (32 square feet) of floor space and will have underfloor heating (like all rooms). According to the construction company, because of the shower, we now have to install a towel radiator. I assume this is related to the heat demand calculation. But is that really the case? Can they require this, or can I insist that the underfloor heating in the small bathroom is just laid more densely? It is also not yet decided whether the radiator will be electric or connected to the underfloor heating system. The latter doesn’t seem to make much sense either.
Best regards
Sebastian

An alternative to an additional wall heating system could be an infrared heater.
Towel warmers cannot replace a heater anyway; as the name suggests, they only warm the towel.
There is, of course, no requirement to have additional devices.
Our approximately 5m² (54 sq ft) room has a floor-level shower with heating coils. Thermostat set to 1-2, comfortably warm.
