KBW Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Hi all I’ve been reading various heating related posts on the forum to research our heating system. Does anyone have an opinion on open loops in UFH? Our design hasn’t specified room thermostats in the bathrooms which seems a bit wrong. Sometimes the only room in the house that needs heat is the bathroom so relying on it being heated via an open loop needs something else to be running? I am being a bit dim or do I need to buy more thermostats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I would fit thermostats, remember to get ones designed for a bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHayes Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 agreed, fit them its a lot easier to remove o deactivate than install retrospectively. Re a thermostat that is designed for a bathroom, concider the following. 1. If the thermostat is mounted in side the bathroom it will need to be battery powered or low voltage 2. If the thermostat is mounted outside the bathroom i'd advise having a air or floor probe to measure the temperautre inside. 3. A floor probe anyway would enable you to measure and control the floor temp, meaning you can be sure of having a warm floor for your bare feet unlike if you were measuring/controlling air temp.
