Hello everyone,

we are currently planning the bathroom in our future single-family home. There is underfloor heating everywhere. We would like to do without an additional radiator in the bathroom. As an alternative, we wondered if it would be possible to simply lay more heating pipes in the floor to heat the bathroom up faster when needed. Or is underfloor heating still too slow for something like that?
What other options are there to avoid a radiator?

Best regards
H i C

Electric heating. Take a look at a picture of an installed underfloor heating system.. Not many more pipes go in there. So your idea doesn't work. By the way, the radiators are mostly for towels and don't get as warm as you might know from old heaters. If you just find it ugly, then leave it out. You won't freeze.

Wall heating to cover the heating load and an infrared heater for direct warmth.

Does not work with underfloor heating... it is sluggish and a new building according to the energy saving ordinance is not designed to be turned back and forth.

Not more, but tighter spacing, that works. Costs a bit extra, but not much.

How tight exactly? I would be interested in that as well. We would also like to do without the heated towel rail. We were once given the cryptic answer that it is no longer possible otherwise (you basically have to install a radiator in the bathroom) and that the underfloor heating is no longer allowed to be laid as tightly as before. Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Tightest installation: 5cm. Keep in mind that it may also be possible to install under the shower/bathtub.
