Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Under floor heating?? 8Aug 19, 2008 11:14 am We also have undertile heating for the bathrooms and tiled living area/kitchen. Unfortunately for me, I'm not allowed to turn on the bathroom heating on a normal basis . It's been deemed by "the electricity nazi" a waste of money since the only time spent in there in the morning is the 5 minutes brushing the teeth.
The larger living space also hardly gets used, but the times it has, it's been great. You can really feel the difference when you step onto the unheated tiles. The reason why it's hardly used is that we do not spend a great deal of time in those rooms. Typically we cook dinner, then retreat upstairs to the carpeted living. So given that our system gets hardly used, do I think it was a waste of money having it installed? No, purely because it's too costly to install it afterwards and it's our lifestyle that is making it impractical to use it more regularly. Thanks 9Aug 22, 2008 6:10 pm Thanks everyone. I've certainly been given lots of food for thought. One of the reasons we were considering the under floor heating is that we are designing a federaton bathroom and thought that a heat source like that would not interfere with the olde world style. However, we've decided to go with a Tastic instead, simply because I like the radiant heat and because we spend so little time in the bathroom that I find it hard to justify the electricity the underfloor heating would use just to heat it up for us to be in there for 10 mins! Also,-I'm a bit of a sook and like instant heat!
Cheryl Re: Under floor heating?? 10Aug 22, 2008 6:49 pm Hmmm... having used bathrooms with floor heating and bathrooms with Tastics ... would go the floor heating every time (but I am a REALLY big sook!). For some reason I always feel that the Tastic is burning the top of my head while the rest of me is still cold. The floor heating is a much nicer heat, but you are probably right from an energy efficiency point of view. Re: Under floor heating?? 11Aug 24, 2008 8:12 pm Sorry to butt in here! I am in the process of a house overhaul and we are getting underfloor heating for sure!
A friend in Tassie has underfloor heating under their carpeted living areas while they have Tastics in the bathrooms. No comparison. The radiant heat from the underfloor is truly delightful while the Tastic scorches your noggin and blinds you in the process. FWIW when we were there the temp was hovering around 9C and the thermo was set on 22C; bliss!

I believe ours is the display at the home ideas centre that was referred to in an earlier post.
All the information I have read here so far seems to be correct. Under floor heating particularly in a bathroom is amazing. It is so much better than an IXL. An average bathroom can be fully installed for around $700. If anyone wants any more info you can contact our office 08 8440 2422. Thanks and sorry to get a bit salesy in my response.
