No one wants to sit on a cold toilet seat or step onto an ice-cold floor after a shower. If you’re remodeling your bathroom, why not add heating for bathroom to your plan? Read on for some deliciously warm ideas for heating a bathroom.

Floor Heating Options

Floor heating has become a popular bathroom remodeling option for modest and luxury homes alike. Due to lower labor and material costs, bathroom underfloor heating is now quite affordable. Advantages of floor heating include:

• Cozy warm floors under your bare feet
• Improved heating efficiency, since electricity is more energy efficient than other bathroom heater methods
• Savings on energy costs (Since warm floors assist in heating a bathroom, you may not have to use other heaters in the house.)

You can install bathroom underfloor heating, as well as in other rooms where cold floors make the room feel chilly. Even though you’ll have to make an initial investment to install this floor heating, the heating savings you’ll get will more than pay it back over time.

Heating for Bathroom Towels

Would you love to to step out of the shower and wrap yourself in a fluffy, warm towel? Towel warmers are a stylish, convenient way to add warmth to your bathroom. A towel warmer can be hardwired to your home’s electrical system, while others simply plug into a nearby outlet. Here are some of the benefits of this accessory for heating a bathroom:

• Energy efficiency: Towel warmers use minimal electricity.
• Humidity control: Towel warmers help reduce dampness in bathrooms with poor ventilation.
• Less laundry: Towels stay fresh and mildew free longer, so you’ll have to wash them less frequently.
• Savings on energy bills: When you do less laundry, you’ll save energy.
• Warmth: Fresh warm towels take the chill out of stepping out of the shower.

Towel warmers aren’t just for towels, either! You can use towel warmers to dry your delicate hand washables gently. In the winter, towel warmers are also a great way to dry wet mittens, coats and socks while keeping them mildew free.

Heating for Bathroom Toilet Seats

On a cold winter morning, you can enjoy the comfort of a heated toilet seat. Heated toilet seats are easy to install, and plug into any GFCI outlet. They use only about 15 watts of electricity, so they are easy on the environment as well as cozy and warm. Heated toilet seats warm to 25 degrees above the temperature in the room, with a high limit of 104 degrees.

Ceiling Heating for Bathroom

To help make a chilly bathroom warm and cozy, a ceiling bathroom heater is a great addition to your bathroom remodel. These ceiling-mounted heaters are controlled by thermostats. With this method of heating a bathroom, you’ll enjoy:

• Cleaner air: Without a fan, this bathroom heater won’t accumulate or spread dust and pollen–great for allergy or asthma suffers.
• Reliability: These units generally perform without problem for many years.
• Safety: There’s no risk of electric shock since unit is on the ceiling.
• Space savings: A ceiling bathroom heater won’t take up your floor or wall space.
