How to Keep Your Wetroom Warm and Luxurious
We all want that luxury feel when we step out of the shower, and there is nothing worse than leaving a warm, steamy shower for a cold wetroom. Fortunately, there is a vast variety of options out there to help you find the perfect solution for your wetroom space so you can feel warm without having to dash to wrap up in a towel.
By choosing the right heating option for your wetroom, you can create a warm and inviting space that feels just as luxurious as stepping into a spa. Whether you prefer sleek and modern designs or something more traditional, there's a heating solution out there that will suit your needs perfectly.
Radiators
Radiators are just one of the many options when it comes to heating your home. However, it doesn't have to be the bulky white radiator you may be thinking of. There are many colour styles and designs out there now to create a focal point or simply complement the rest of your interior. Towel rails can be a great option as they are perfect for hanging, drying, and warming your towels.
What Should I Consider When Installing a Radiator In My Wetroom?
If you're considering installing a radiator in your wetroom, there are several factors to consider. Style, placement, material, size, and fuel type are all important factors to keep in mind. You want to choose a radiator that complements your wetroom's decor, is installed in a convenient location, and is the right size and material to provide adequate heat. Additionally, choosing the right fuel type can impact the efficiency and cost of your heating system.
Where Is Best to Install a Radiator In My Wetroom?
One of the first things to think about when installing a radiator is where you are going to fit and place it. If your space already has a pre-existing radiator, then it makes a lot of sense to utilize that space with an alternative radiator that suits your design aesthetic. This will save you both time and money and will make the job a lot easier. However, if you are installing a radiator from scratch, it is important to understand where the radiator will heat your room most effectively and efficiently.
Traditionally, radiators are commonly placed under windows as this tends to be the coldest part of a room. While this is still a logical way of thinking, due to double-glazed windows being standardized in most homes, this way of thinking isn't as relevant as it once was. However, this is great as it opens up so many more options and possibilities, allowing you to place your radiator in the ideal space for your space and aesthetic.
What Is The Best Radiator Material?
There are various different material options when it comes to selecting your new radiator. Different metals have different heating qualities, so choosing the material of your radiator is an important aspect to look into and consider. Not only this, but it can also add to the aesthetic of your space, swaying it to a more traditional or modern overall look.
Different materials have different finishes and weights. For instance, a cast iron radiator is a popular choice for people who are after a traditional Victorian style. However, cast iron radiators are very heavy and expensive, whereas you could purchase a stainless steel or a mild steel radiator that is a lot lighter and cost-efficient. Due to this, it can be a more popular option, meaning there could be more design choices for you.
Growing in popularity are aluminum radiators. Aluminum is known as a superconductor, meaning that its heat-up and cool-down speeds are considerably quicker than other materials, making it easier for you to achieve the perfect desired room temperature.
What Fuel Type Should I Look At?
When selecting a fuel type for your radiator to install in your wetroom, there are options for everyone. whether you have central heating or not, there is a solution out there for you.
For homes with central heating, you have the option of using dual fuel. This is a benefit as it allows you to keep your room warm in the winter, and allow you to turn it off in warmer months while still allowing you to have the luxury of warm towels by using the electric heating element during these times.
If you don't have central heating in your home then don't panic! Electric radiators are available too. There are now so many different styles and designs out there to select from, so you can find your perfect match in no time.
What Design Choices Are Out There?
In today's age, the number of different styles and designs is endless. Whether it be a simplistic design or a real eye-catching focal point you can find a radiator as unique or sleek as your space. With more colours than ever before, you don't have to worry about finding your match.
When it comes to radiator designs features are being considered more than before. With convenient add-on hooks to hang your towels and robes, shelves that are built into the architecture to allow you to neatly fold and heat your towels at the same time, and many more innovative features.
Underfloor Heating
Wetrooms are becoming a more popular choice in the modern-day home, with a larger open plan space and more unique design options, there is no doubt why installing a wetroom could be the way forward. However, nothing ruins a warm comforting feeling than stepping out into a cold room and stepping barefoot onto cold tiles. With underfloor heating, you can eliminate that problem and enjoy a warm and relaxing space.
Underfloor heating can be used in any room including your wetroom. When people think about heating solutions they tend to think of the traditional radiator. However, radiators can often take up a lot of space in your room whilst sometimes having an impact on your design, style and layout. It is also an affordable and cost-efficient way to heat your room, all while giving you the luxury of walking on warm and toasty floors.
