Getting ready to give our upstairs bathroom a facelift. Its a small room, like 50sq/ft including thr vanity, tub and small closet. Part of the project is to put down a tile floor. The bathroom is currently heated with a 30 in baseboard, hot water heat, that doesn't put off much heat. I'm thinking about heating the floor since it's such a small space, I'm redoing the floor anyway, and the room could use more heat.
The bathroom is the last room on the upstairs loop that includes 3 bedrooms. I want to be able to install something that will run in line with the loop I have and not have to worry about running a new loop or tempering valve or anything like that. I'm not sure if I should leave the 30in baseboard unit as well as the heated floor, or just the floor?
I have access to almost all of the floor from the bathroom below it, and have no problem cutting up the floor in the other spot and putting it back down after so I can heat the whole area.
The area I would be heating would be 6ft of joist (16in on center), 8ft of joist (16in) and then 8ft of half a joist (8in) so it would be a fairly short run.
Thoughts? What products should I be looking for?
