towel rail should heat the air OK.


Can I take from the lack of response to this remark that everyone would
be quite happy with a heating system that only worked in winter when the
main house heating was on? The room underneath is the kitchen and is
normally pretty warm. If the bathroom floor feels cold to SWMBO's
tootsies in summer there will be hell to pay.



You could run the hot water primary under there. However, I've got all
this, and no one has complained about cold tootsies in summer.

In fact, even on unheated screed floors in winter, the tiles are warm
from the room heating, in the one bathroom that is like this.

The 'dog shower' so called because its a wet room designed for
shampooing the mangy hound, has got UF heating, and SWMBO uses it more
than any other - maybe thats cos the other showers are not finished yet
tho :-)
