Alternative for steam baseboard in bathroom

in THE MAIN WALL
<font face="arial">I'm replacing the Selectronic system in my 47 year old house in Seattle, WA. "Weil McClain 200K BTU furnace" <BR>The current Selectronic units fit nicely into the wall and don't have a large footprint. <BR>It's a good size bathroom but not much wall space for a baseboard.
<BR>I'm looking for something with a similer footprint or possibly a towel warmer to do the job.

1. Will a towel warmer fully heat the bathroom?<BR>
2. Is there a steam toe kicker heater available?<BR>
3. If a towel warmer will do the trick I would like to make my own out of copper, has anyone seen plans for one?<BR>
4. Other reccomendations?<BR>

    Take a look at

    www.steamradiators.com. Keep in mind that any towel warmer loses capacity once you put towels on it. How about using electric radiant mats instead?

    Consider a small radiant loop off of your steam boiler

    just gotta snake down 2 1/2" pex lines and a thermostat wire - well worth it. The heatloss for a room would have to be tiny or the towel warmer sooooo big to be able to heat a bathroom. Also, look into some of those new panel steam rads..Noel would know the company names. Very high tech l;ooking. Mad Dog
