Hello everyone,

for the underfloor heating design with 30 °C flow temperature, the responsible specialist suggested two wall heaters in both bathrooms. So, also nailing underfloor heating pipes to the wall and covering them with plaster. As a layperson, I find that to be more effort. Am I wrong? At least the wall heater takes up an estimated minimum of 5 cm of space from the room, on the wall where I would install the wall heater.

Now I could also replace the respective 150 watts of the wall heater (one on the ground floor and two upstairs) with such towel wall heaters with electric cartridge, right? Is it then the case that you install a motion detector there that turns on the heater, or do you do it with a switch? Isn't that annoying over time?

In the ground floor bathroom, practically 1x 150-watt towel heater would be enough for me, and upstairs 2x 150-watt towel heaters. With motion detector that would be much nicer, right? Or does it take too long: when you go into the bathroom, the electric cartridge is only warm 15 minutes later? No, it should go up to max power immediately within a few seconds, right?

What do you think? Do you have experience with electric towel wall heaters? Do you have them with motion detectors or with switches?

Let me know what you think about these towel heaters on the wall with electric cartridge.

Many greetings and have a nice Sunday evening.

Take the wall heating. Yes, it is more elaborate but it is worth it. It is a much more pleasant warmth, possibly also take a little more than just the area for 150 watts.

These are two totally different heaters. You will probably need the first option to achieve the desired base temperature in the bathrooms, since the underfloor heating probably isn’t sufficient for the floor area covered (then it might only be 18-20 degrees in the bathroom – normal would be 22-24 degrees). The second option makes it "just" warmer. However, you don’t have it on all the time, only when needed.

Thank you for your opinions.

Yes, with brine heat pump.

Actually, the electric cartridge is supposed to replace the wall heating if I find it too "complex." So not two different heating systems. But of course, the electric heating is only used when needed.

So the wall heating is by far the best option in this case. Please take your hat off to the planner and implement it that way. Low flow temperature, constantly pleasantly tempered room without cold surfaces. Many people are not even familiar with this sensible approach.
