Underfloor Heating For The Bathroom

Installing underfloor heating in your bathroom

Underfloor heating in your bathroom always delivers fantastic comfort and works really well with floor finishes, like tiles, that you would expect to find in a bathroom. A bathroom underfloor heating system will work alongside any existing or new radiators, so you don’t need to worry about not being able to use towel rails. This flexibility means that you can design your bathroom with total freedom, with the added bonus of not having to walk on cold tiles! 

When it comes to Underfloor heating there are two main types to choose from: water based systems and electric. Electric should only be used in areas less than 3m2. The main downside to electric systems is the cost to run, these systems are very energy hungry. Water based systems are far more efficient, often costing over 60% less to run and Wunda’s Rapid Response® heating system will heat a room as fast as radiators.

How much does underfloor heating cost to install in a bathroom?

There’s no digging up floors and installation is easy and relatively hassle free. 75m2 could be laid over a weekend by competent DIYers ready for your professionals to hook up to your heat source.

Underfloor heating energy efficiency

Underfloor heating uses low (35-45 degrees) water temperatures, making it a very eco-friendly system. It is the perfect partner for heat pumps as their optimum efficiency is producing water under 50 degrees.  

Underfloor heating systems will cost users around 25% less than radiators to run on average and 60% less than electric floor heating systems. When installing a Wunda Rapid Response® system which uses smart controls and zoning the savings can be up to 50%.
