Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our new house and have reached the point where we need to decide on an additional fast heating option for our bathroom, one that responds more quickly than the rather slow underfloor heating.
We are considering either a wall-mounted fan heater or an electric towel warmer. We understand that both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but this supplementary heater will only be used during transitional seasons when the underfloor heating is not yet running or has already been turned off.
The bathroom has a floor area of about 18 square meters (living area around 16 square meters (172 square feet) due to the sloping ceiling). The built-in heating system will be an air-to-water heat pump with a controlled ventilation system.
Personally, I’m leaning toward the towel warmer, mostly for aesthetic reasons.
What would you recommend?
Best regards,
Dirk

Yes, about 500 watts directed straight at you has no noticeable effect. But after 2 hours, the bathroom is 2°C (3.6°F) warmer. However, it costs energy. That’s a pity. The whole point is not to heat the room but to warm the person standing in front of the mirror.

Too bad. The point is not to heat the room, but to directly warm the person in front of the mirror.It would make sense for the person to emit heat INTO the mirror itself, so the mirror reflects it back to them. Yes, I’m interested in that as well—a possible option for additional heating.

It is recommended that the person shines INTO the mirror themselves; then they will be reflected back by the mirror as well This can sometimes be quite heartwarming, especially if you haven't been out partying the night before.
