Tiled shower floor - sooner or later trouble due to silicone joint?

Good plan. How much distance should you leave between the drainage channel and the underfloor heating pipes so that they don’t dry out / smell unpleasant? They always dry out anyway when it’s warm inside the house (within the thermal envelope)??? I read something about the distance because of negative odors. But hmmm :rolleyes:

That should be known by the plumber. Nothing dries out or smells here. I know that smell from labs that have floor drains which are no longer used nowadays. What effect should the underfloor heating pipes have there? By the way, they produce exactly THE heat needed to be able to do without something like

No towel heater?

No towel heater? Here I will solve it so that as soon as the presence detector in the shower is active, the light and the towel heater in the shower turn on. This way you always have a warm bath when you need it, and otherwise the underfloor heating controls the rest. I would even turn on a mirror with heating at the same time, but those are quite expensive.

This does not work, the electric towel heaters need 10-15 minutes to warm up even with a powerful heating element. Not to mention the electricity costs.

You don’t have to ramp it up from 0 to 100. Slightly open the valves in the evening and fully open them when present + electric heating cartridge. This can be well represented in the software.

Of course, that can be depicted. However, the triggered effect will not occur. I speak from experience.

Then let's see whether the towels are warm or cold. What did you use to implement the logic?

Turning on A when B triggers requires no special logic, any KNX actuator can do that too :)
