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

I have a flow temperature of 30°C (86°F) when it’s around minus 25°C (minus 13°F). However, it has never been that cold before, so I’m not sure if I need to raise the heating curve. At about minus 5°C (23°F), my flow temperature is 25°C (77°F). In that case, the unit would be pretty useless without the heating cartridge. In the living room, we’re fine with temperatures between 21 and 22°C (70 and 72°F); otherwise, I’d have to take off my T-shirt. But increasing the flow temperature by 2°C (4°F) would only raise it by about 2°C (4°F). For towels to be comfortably warm, I’d prefer a temperature closer to 38 to 40°C (100 to 104°F).

Then your energy demand must be very, very low, I guess. For the living room, at the same temperature of 24°C (75°F), I could probably lower the flow temperature by 1, maybe 2 degrees, but then we wouldn’t even come close to 24°C (75°F) in the bathroom anymore...
