Heating a bathroom but lack of space for BB???

anthony_7

I dormered upstairs and put in a bathroom 7 X14. I have lack of floor space with fixtures going in TUB, SHOWER TOILER VANITIES ETC. What is an inexpensive alternative to use instead of BB on the floor as I have no room. I priced the kick space heaters and they are pretty pricey.

How about something else?

Wall-Hanging Steel Panel Radiator?

by Runtal (or others)?

If tying into an existing one-pipe system pay particular attention to your incoming/outgoing temperatures lest you overheat/underheat the space or (worse) starve whatever follows in the loop. (Have heard that kickspace heaters are particularly difficult, or nearly impossible, to add into an existing loop.)

Bathroom heat

Anthony, Baseboard is the least expensive alternative to heating your bathroom. If a toe-kick heater is too pricey then you have pretty much ran out of options already. You could put a electric heater in, but you will find that the cost of operation makes that toe-kick look pretty cheap. Also the toe-kick would be easily incorporated into the existing system. Hope this helps.

How much space...

do you have? if you only have 2 feet try some high output baseboard. ex. Sterling Senior. 750btu /ft vs stndard baseboard at 600btu. If all else fail get it in the back area of the toilet...not my 1st or second choice. but sounds like the budget is very tight...kpc

With some baseboard you can install two tiers of fin tube...did that in my bathroom with about 2-1/2 ft. of baseboard space, & works fine.
