Is underfloor heating necessary in the shower? What do you think about it?

Then it would have to evaporate in seconds with underfloor heating. However, since the tiles take on the temperature of the warm water after a very short shower time even without underfloor heating, there is no difference at all between the two variants after turning off the water. The argumentation is not physically valid in any way!

well as long as no seawater dries there, that’s more like homeopathy. Next, someone will say the siphon dries out faster due to the heat. Even if a bit more lime is deposited there. It has to be cleaned at some point anyway.

We could have had it installed on a small scale without an additional charge. It apparently wasn’t planned that way (also regarding the energy bill). The plumbing company, however, advised us against it because we have the drain in the middle. He said he could lay something there, but not much.

We have now decided against it. Since I don’t really like tiled showers anyway, I will use the alternate one, which is also not heated from below [emoji16]. And there isn’t much cold coming from below anyway, since there is a heated basement here.

But since the room is quite small and has little underfloor heating, an electric heater will be added. We can then use it for towels. We could have also installed a normal one, but we wouldn’t really turn it on much anyway.

I see it the same way. But for me, it would be the only somewhat suitable explanation why the topic is discussed so extensively here

Why the hell radiators, that is as unnecessary and a waste of space as anything else.

The modern person believes that towels wouldn’t dry without [ ].

For me, it’s more about having some heat source somewhere in the house where you can dry something. Soaked (children’s) gloves, hats, jackets, ...

Regarding limescale … total nonsense. If the tiles aren’t black and shiny, you don’t see the limescale at all. It’s more likely the grout that gets discolored ...
Faucets and possibly glass show stains much more readily and encourage cleaning, long before you would see anything on the grout or the tiles.
You’re more likely to clean the tiles because they become slippery from shampoo, conditioner, etc. But not because of limescale.
