1. What Is a Bathroom Radiator?
A bathroom radiator is a specialised, dual-function heating unit that serves as a towel warmer and room heater.
A bathroom radiator essentially uses convection to heat your bathroom. The primary convection principle is it drives cool air from the bottom of the bathroom, and as the air passes over the flutes, it gets heated and rises up.
2. What Type of Radiator Is Best for a Bathroom?
The best type of bathroom radiator will depend on your space, style preference, and heating needs. You can choose from the following 7 options:

3. Do You Need a Radiator in the Bathroom?
In the UK, a radiator is needed in the bathroom to check dampness and mould growth, especially during the winter months.
A radiator can heat the bathroom and help reduce dampness and mould. This design element can also keep your towels warm.
4. How to Calculate Radiator Size for a Bathroom?
Measure the dimensions of your bathroom and consider the following three heat loss factors: wall type, floor level, and window size.
Next, use a British Thermal Unit (BTU) calculator to determine the heat output you’ll require based on your bathroom’s external walls, insulation, and ceiling height.
Look to oversize your radiator, not undersize it.
