How to Make a Bathroom Warmer When Carrying Out A Refit
This was a bathroom that lost its heat very quickly. The walls are single skin one layer of brick and have no insulation. After removing all of the bathroom suite and tiles, we then removed the plaster from the walls going back to brick.
Photos of the Bathroom Before
Below is an image of the bathroom.
All of the existing pipe work was also removed. As the floor is concrete and uneven we used a self-leveling compound to correctly level the floor
Normally plaster board would be bonded to the walls to create a flat surface for tiling. In this bathroom we used insulated plaster board on the two exterior walls. This will help to keep any heat within the bathroom. The client commented the same day the insulated plaster board was fitted to the wall (before the bathroom was finished) that the room felt warmer.

Calculated the BTU required for the room
We used an online BTU calculator to estimate the BTU required from a towel warmer to ensure that the room can be correctly heated. We then sourced a towel warmer that exceeded this amount.
