Bathroom floor area is about 6.8 sq metres. Should we get electric underfloor heating or just a heated towel rail? Would prefer not to get both. In Sydney, Australia. Will we need a heat lamp as well?
I live in the inner west of Sydney so prone to damp. We have installed underfloor heating mainly to dry out the room. Also have a heated towel rail as warm towels are such a treat on a cold morning. You can find reasonably priced heated towels rails. If it's just the one element, I would suggest the underfloor heating.
Between the two, I too would go for underfloor heating over heated towel rail... and personally not a fan of the look of heat lights and would have a heating vent instead... but if that's no possible, then not sure you'll need it if you have the underfloor heating anyway... good luck :)
I'm in Canberra and we've recently installed underfloor heating in our bathroom. We only caught the tail end of this winter, but the underfloor heating dries the towels out fine, so don't miss not having heated towel rails. We haven't installed any additional heating, but I'm not expecting to need it. Probably need to have it a full winter to pass final judgement on that though.
