Low Voltage Bathroom Heating Solution Customer Case Study
After a solid 12mths of running the ‘Low voltage Plinth Heater’ from Thermix, I thought I should write a review. Its not often you buy a product these days and are really satisfied with the end result but it’s even more pleasing especially when you know it’s been manufactured and built in the UK.
So, after a few years of restoring many rooms in my cottage, it was time to look at the 1st floor bathroom. This was a difficult one and required a bit planning and research, due to the size and available space. One of the main issues was the existing towel/radiator which was far too large for the room and didn’t produce much heat!
I was looking for a solution that heated the bathroom efficiently but was also sleek in terms of footprint and didn’t take up valuable space which I needed to fit in a reasonable 3-piece suit for the family to use.
After a few hours of research online I came across Thermix who is a manufacturer of the KPH 1400 LVDC low voltage plinth heaters. After a few correspondences with them around suitability and dimensions, the plan was coming together.
I had contemplated a plinth heater as it could mount discreetly at the empty space at the bottom of the vanity unit but knew it couldn’t be an electric one, or a mains voltage, due to the placement. However, the low voltage unit from Thermix, appeared to tick all the boxes. I had the old radiator circuit too which would just need a little adjusting re-routing to the back of the vanity unit. Overall, this appeared to be quite neat and simple solution.
The vanity unit I ordered from Victoria Plumbing had a plinth the perfect size, this meant after studying the dimensions from Thermix I could cut a letterbox type opening, mounting the unit and the front grill would sit perfectly in the space.
Before ordering the unit form Thermix I spoke to them about my plans and installation, they were extremely helpful and gave me some friendly advice on installation and further ideas around device control. They were also very confident that it would produce plenty of heat, given the size of the room, even on the lowest setting, which was comforting.
The unit arrived promptly and was well packaged and once opened the unit looked well made.
