Considerations When Heating Your Bathroom
When planning your bathroom heating system, here are some factors to consider:
Floor Coverage: Aim to cover roughly 90% of the free floor with underfloor heating, this can include beneath wall hung bathroom furniture and free-standing baths. Avoid heating beneath fixed furniture and shower trays to prevent heat trapping. If the shower tray is of a type that will be tiled on to, such as with a wet room floor it may be that the underfloor heating elements can be installed before the tiles; please check with us and the manufacturer about the suitability of your shower tray.
Heat Loss: Smaller bathrooms and conservatories may require powerful heating systems to overcome high heat loss. Consider using higher wattage systems or thermal insulation boards for improved efficiency. Higher wattage systems are most suitable for use beneath natural stone and tiled floors.
Controller Placement: While it's possible to install the controller in the bathroom, placing it on an outer wall is normally recommended. Thermostats will have an IP rating that must be suitable for use inside of certain zones in a bathroom. Consult with your electrician for guidance on placement and safety ratings.
Additional Features: Mirror demisters and wall heating systems offer added luxury and functionality, keeping your mirrors clear of condensation and with wall heating, your towels warm and dry. Speak to us about these additional features.
Choosing the Right System
The most suitable electric underfloor heating system for your bathroom depends on factors such as floor covering and room size:
Heating Mats: Ideal for tile and stone floors, heating mats offer fast heating times and are available in various wattages to suit different room sizes. Higher outputs are suitable for tiles and stone with lower outputs suitable for vinyl and wood finishes in a bathroom.
Heating Cables: Suitable for smaller or complicated areas, heating cables can be installed with ease and offer flexibility in design. Depending on the cable spacings can be used for either primary or secondary heating.
Decoupling Membrane with Heating Cables: If tiles are being laid and a decoupling membrane is required, we can offer an all in one solution. Our combined decoupling membrane and cable carrier perfectly combines the decoupling properties of a decoupling membrane and the flexibility of a loose cable.
Laminate, Engineered Wood or Vinyl Flooring: For these flooring types, heating mats covered with levelling compound or latex screed offer optimal earth shielding and waterproofing.
