From those who have it (and my memories of it in Europe in the 70's and 80's) it's amazing and a must-have.
So we're planning a bathroom remodel, and currently have forced air furnace/AC for the house and the master bath has that little Nutone 1950's looking heater fan in the ceiling. It's mostly useless.
What I'm thinking is that I could re-purpose the switch for the Nutone for an electric heated floor, but I know nothing of them.
What do I need to think about? What do I need to talk to the tile/floor contractor about? What brands are good/bad/ugly? This is on the 2nd floor of a 1998 house in Texas.
Will 1500-1800 watts be enough for the floor of the master and WC in a ballpark 20' x 8' of "hallway" between the sinks, shower/tub and closet?
I'm thinking there's no need for heating in the shower or under the tub or sinks, so the master closet and anywhere feet touch the floor.
My idea is to spend a little extra to ensure this is done right and done once. I don't want to have to revisit any of this stuff in 10 years because I cheaped out of parts.
