Bathroom Heater Fan and other options Custom Search Under-Tile HeatingOne option is under tile heating. This gives a very pleasant sensation underfoot. You do need to preheat the bathroom some time before you are ready to take a bath or shower. Then, when you are finished the tiles take some time to cool down. There is quite a lot of wasted energy.Radiator-Type HeaterA second option is the old fashioned radiator-type heater. It is still frequently used, and although it should ideally be turned on a little while before you use the bathroom, it does not take as long to heat the room up as under tile heating. It is normally fastened high up on the bathroom wall, just below the ceiling, and directed down to where the heat is needed. It is fairly effective.Bathroom Heater Fan
The third option is a very nice type of bathroom heater fan. That is, an extractor fan – heater combo. This is my favorite option. The ultimate solution to a bathroom in these climes is a combination of extractor fan – heater – and central light. The extractor fan is normally in the center of the ceiling fitting and either two or four infrared heater bulbs surround it. Frequently a normal light fitting is included in the combo. The whole fitting is normally controlled by four switches on the wall just outside the bathroom door. One switch controls the light, one the extractor fan, and the other two switches control two infrared heating bulbs each. You can turn on two bulbs, or four, or leave them off altogether if you want to. The Combo Bathroom Heater FanThe extractor fan Homes in these ‘cold night, warm day’ countries are frequently built in a single story bungalow style. In very dry climates the bathroom heater fan is not often vented. It dispels steam and odors into the roof space, where they quickly dissipate in the warmth of the day. In more moist climates you will need venting to remove the damp air completely. It is generally not recommended that the vent be directly over the shower cubicle, but just outside the shower door, or in the center of the bathroom. However you need to carefully read the specifications and follow the installation instructions of the type of extractor fan / heater / light combination fitting that you decide to buy. The light Central ceiling lighting doesn’t do much for the ambiance of any room, a bathroom included. It is a cold, bleak light and is often not sufficient to see yourself clearly at the sink mirror. However, it may be all you need in a very small bathroom, or you can have other lighting installed as well, especially around your vanity or sink. The infrared heaters You will fall in love with these the first time you experience them. These lights give instant heat and you feel as though you are standing in a patch of hot sunlight. With this type of bathroom heater fan your bathroom could well become the pleasantest room in the house on a cold winter’s night! You can use either two or four heaters, depending on the size of your bathroom or how cold the weather is. When you are finished you turn them off and the heat is instantly gone. There is no need to preheat your bathroom for a time prior to going in to shower or bath. You just turn them on when you go into your bathroom and the heat is immediately there. There is no wasted energy at all. Your best place to install your fitting is fairly centrally in the bathroom, in between the bath and the shower. This way you will reap the pleasantest benefit when you step out of the warm water and stand directly beneath your bathroom heater fan, and dry yourself and get dressed.
