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

Well, a towel radiator costs about 1500 (USD). It’s always a question of what is luxury and what really makes sense, also regarding energy consumption.
Maybe an additional heater is also useful!?

Usually, the issue in bathrooms is that the supply temperatures are higher, and the heating surface is too small due to the bathtub and possibly the shower. Combined with low flow temperatures, this means that, in theory, additional heat sources are needed here. This has little to do with luxury.
