Bath heating + heat lamp

NKBA Bath 25

Description

Bathrooms benefit from supplemental heating (heated towel bar, radiant floor, or heat lamp). The IRC heating requirement for habitable rooms applies.

Why this exists

Wet skin in a 68° room is uncomfortable; supplemental heat fixes the bath-as-cold-zone problem.
