Radiant flooring in bathrooms or not?

so basically your saying the only way to run RFH is to run a separate line all the way to the boiler….?? that seems impractical in a multi story situation where you are only doing renovation in one apartment.

I’m amazed I haven’t asked more questions to this forum as we’ve been renovating our brownstone. It has pumping steam heat throughout, although we’re building two new bathrooms in a space that was previously a kind of center sitting room that doesn’t have any heat piped into it. Our contractor suggested doing radiant flooring, but our architect says he never does that in New York and doesn’t see the need. Any advice on this? It’s money we’d be glad to put elsewhere.

If you have a shower/bath in either then, yes, I would.  Half baths, don’t bother.

It is really a matter of comfort.  You keep your feet warm and the rest is too.  I love heated floors.  It is not to expensive and there is a thermostat so it does not need to on all the time.  Just the time you use the bathroom.  I put them in the kitchen as well.

Your architect is rather closed minded.  I’m not sure radiant can be done with a steam system.  Master plumber?   They can be done electrically too. And yes, they are very comfortable.   I’m assuming this is the “center sitting room” on the second floor in between the two bedrooms.  I turned mine into a giant ensuite with the master bedroom and it became one of my favorite rooms in the house.  I added a ceiling heat lamp with a blower and that was really great, much less expensive than a radiant floor system but I also have forced air heat, not radiators.

Radiant heat from a steam boiler? No problem. We’ve done it lots of times and most recently in a house in Brooklyn Heights.  I think it’s worth the expense if you’re doing several bathrooms in line with each other or if the bathroom(s) are larger than average.

Your architect’s statement is odd.

Wow – thanks for the responses! Yes, it is a “center sitting room” on a third floor between two bedrooms – we’re turning it into a master bath and kids bath, each with a small skylight. They are not particularly big bathrooms. The radiant flooring proposed would be electric and we were quoted about $2300 for materials and installation. Is this typical? I like that idea of a ceiling heat lamp with a blower just for those super cold winter days – I’m going to ask architect/contractor about that option.

We redid our whole heating system as part of whole-house reno and put radiant heating in two areas: 1\. Radiant hot-water heating in the first-floor extension that we added — which is our living room, filled with light because we knocked out back wall. 2\. Radiant electric heating in both bathrooms, which are located in the middle of the house (where yours are). All operate on their own programmable thermostat. The electricity is on only for a brief while — during the cold months and during the morning shower period. It is heavenly. The living room floor, which runs off the hot water system, so uses no electricity, is also wonderfully comfortable, especially since we like going around in stocking feet. Heated floors were one of the best parts of our renovation. I don’t know what the cost is for the bathrooms, because was part of whole, but I do know that our architect said, Do it because it’s cheap and easy to do when you’re laying an entirely new tile floor.

You could also consider a radiator in the form of a towel warmer.

masterplvmber, why cant you have baseboard and radiant floor heating on the same hot water heating system? Arent you just running an in slab PEX line the same way you would run a radiator?

masterplvmber yes you seemed to with this statement You don’t want to heat baseboard or any other radiators with the same water you’re using to heat the floor, though it often seems convenient to do so. It can be done but it’s a trick.
