How many times have your freezing bathroom caused you to hide under the sheets wishing your alarm clock not to sound off? For some, this may sound like a bit of an exaggeration, but for others, this is the feeling that a cold bathroom gives them.
Considering the rising utility costs, heating the entire house is not always a possible option. So, how then can you keep yourself comfortable while showering during the cold months? Here are some ideas that you may want to try out.
Bathroom Heat/Fan/Light
A type of light bathroom unit that can do wonders for a home bathroom. It comes with heat lamps that in addition to brightening the bathroom also provide warmth to the room as well as a fan that draws condensation out of the bathroom, a beneficial feature especially if you like to have a hot shower. Instead of using regular light bulbs, this type of light bathroom unit comes with infrared heat lamps that heat quickly and are perfect for heating small spaces such as bathrooms. Allowing your bathroom to heat up a couple of minutes will make taking a shower in the morning a much more comfortable experience during the cold season. With a bathroom heat/fan/light, your transition from the shower to the towel will be a piece of cake.
Heated Towel Racks
This is another great solution for meeting your bathroom heating needs. These racks are bigger than usual tower racks and radiate heat outward through the rails, passing through the towel and warming the air around it. Installing the racks in the right place is very important to obtain the heating benefit as these racks can take some time to warm up the air around them. We recommend you to install them in a place that is close to the shower, so that you can stand in from of it while drying out. Again, this a great solution only for small bathrooms.
Under Floor Heating
An option that heats your bathroom from the floor up. It uses either water-heated tubing or electrically heated coils and can be patterned underneath the flooring to heat up the room and the cold tiles. It is important to mention that an under floor heating is an expensive investment although it is also a long lasting heating solution that can even add value to your property. If an under floor heating doesn't fit your budget, you can consider installing a bathroom-safe heater that you can turn on before you shower or bath.
For whether option you may choose, we strongly advise you to hire a licensed professional to install the device in your bathroom. This will help you avoiding scrimping on safety with electronics in the bathroom.
