Hello,
We would like to skip a towel radiator in our small bathroom for the children (about 4 square meters (43 square feet)). Our architect suggested laying the underfloor heating pipes closer together instead. We have a gas heating system and a ventilation system. The plumber said that the room might not get warm enough without a towel radiator and recommended installing one. A temperature of 22 degrees Celsius (72°F) would be sufficient for us. Does anyone have a small bathroom with a shower and can share their experience regarding this?
Best regards,
Sabine

Crazy effort, right? I think a heated towel rail is almost cheaper. Does anyone know how much a wall heating loop system costs? For example, for 2m² (22ft²)? About the same as underfloor heating, since it's basically the same system.

The more important question is whether the heating engineer agrees to it!
Overall, we are more than satisfied with the wall-mounted heater. Especially because the walk-in shower is a bit remote, so the wet room is heated very well.
But back to the topic,
in general......it makes no sense to give a remote diagnosis.
4 square meters (43 square feet).....new build/old building.....insulation.....how many exterior walls.....all of these factors are relevant.

For me personally: no!
We have underfloor heating throughout the entire house. According to the general contractor, electric supplementary heaters in the bathrooms (12 m² (130 sq ft) and 4 m² (43 sq ft)) were also planned.
We chose not to install these electric supplementary heaters in the bathroom or the guest WC with shower, despite having underfloor heating; instead, we removed them as a "self-performed work" and did not make any provisions for them.
(77.willo described this directly in post #12, explaining how it was implied to us during the equipment consultation.)
If it ever does get too cold for showering or bathing, there’s always the good old fan heater, which will warm the bathroom for those 10 minutes. So far, during winter, we have had no problems with the temperature being “too cold.”
By the way, we dry towels after washing on a regular clothesline or even hung over the shower overnight.

To be honest, I can’t imagine how it could get too cold. At the moment, we always have 21°C (70°F) in the bathroom here, which is warm enough for everyone. Besides, the ventilation system should help distribute the warm air throughout the house, right? Our plumbing specialist has currently planned a 60 x 190 cm (24 x 75 inch) heater with 1200 watts for the kids’ bathroom. Isn’t that too large?

It’s not extra work at all. The pipe is simply clipped to the wall. Then it’s plastered as usual. Is this also possible with drywall?
