This is a popular form of heating for many good reasons. Less air currents and usually quieter than forced air systems, baseboard heat plumbing and a reduced tendency to dry the air, and is easily divided into separate areas of the thermostat. But there are some problems with the baseboard heater in the bathroom. The first is the problem of space for the coils on the wall. Usually, space is at a premium in a bathroom and a reasonable length of skirtingCoils have to compete with devices for space on the walls. Sometimes there are tracks convector baseboard behind the toilet, which is common in my experience a mistake. This is a fairly humid, with more splash and condensation from the toilet, and before long, they begin to rust in the steel cover on the baseboard and rust.
Also, be brutally honest, a lot of very awkward trying to fin-tube convectors. In a larger space is not asintrusive, but in a small bathroom, are very evident. The alternative is a thin profile as Runtal baseboard, which is only 2 mm deep and ranging in height from 3 inches to 12 inches tall, depending on the heat output of the device. Use a heat output of about 900 BTU / hour per linear foot for the 12-inch high 4-pipe units, the skirting is also suitable for the limited space on the bathroom wall. Another solution is to use a wall-panel radiators, some of them mayDouble as a hot towel.
If it's a vanity in the bathroom is another option, a compact heater fan coils under the mountain, in the space ToeKick. These units in the existing hydronic system, bind, have a small electric-powered fan circulates air around a heating coil in the first room. You sit down have a lot of heat, feel in control of an adjustable fan and hot air that issue is well on his feet, not so hot that could burnthem.
In my experience, these fans are strong enough, and they also need a working temperature of about 140 degrees F to ensure adequate heat, so I'm not very good with low temperature systems (such as heat pumps) . Another problem is the lack of a filtration plant. The fans draw air in along the toes occur, usually a very dusty, and it does not take long before the Finns clogged with dust on the fan, cutting the power of the fan. And Iwere not very impressed with their durability, maintenance or replacement of a unit mounted in a closet is not fun, cut with a lid on the underside of the housing.
Hydronic systems are also good for the supply of radiant heat, an increasingly popular method to heat a house suitable. Rather than going through coils, hydronic radiant systems send hot water through flexible plastic tubes, walls or ceilings, basements, transforming these areas in heatingElements. Although more expensive than regular convection radiant hydronic heating systems to provide mechanical and silent invisible presence, and also the warmth and predictable.
