Hi there I’m just looking some
Knowledge insight into the downfalls of my idea.
Remodeling our master bathroom on first floor. There’s currently one 5 ft section of radiant fin tube baseboard. We’re relocating the toilet and adding a free standing cast iron tub that’s going to be close to the baseboard and we’re thinking of removing and adding radiant floor heat just in this bathroom.
There are 2 zones total in the house on Taco 007ecm circulators one for first and one for 2nd floor. The first floor thermostat is right outside the bathroom door. We have access to the joists and under subfloor as basement is unfinished. If we eliminated this baseboard heat and cut in a pex loop with radiant plates and insulation but didn’t add seperate zone and mixing valve what would be downsides? My boiler runs at 185 and total subfloor plywood would be 1.25”, then Ditra schluter uncoupling membrane thinset and tile. Is it really too hot to run it like this without a whole seperate zone and mixing valve. Just looking to understand this best I can thank you guys on advance.
