How do I warm up a North facing bathroom?
+5
We remodeled this bathroom adding the thickest type of insulation in walls and ceiling but it's still so cold that we have to use an electric heater to warm up so that we can shower. Any suggestions from the community would be appreciated

honestly, I’d call my heating guy to find out why or where the heat “run” is blocked.
Caulk around the window. Put heavy throw rugs on the floor. See if air is coming in around the hole where the commode pipe goes into the wall.
Is this ground level or 2nd story?
try a heated floor and/or a ceiling heat lamp.
I like the idea of heavy throw rugs but we would still need to figure out how to keep the shower floor from being so cold. This is an old house made with cinder blocks and I figured that maybe they were not filled in. I wonder if I could use thickest possible linoleum in the shower and maybe this will help insulate more.
Anyhow thanks for your answer Susan.

Oh. Then I’d get a light/ceiling fan with heater. I have one in my new bath. It’s a Panasonic. Was a bit expensive but works great turned on 5-10 minutes before the shower. Unobtrusive and very safe.
You obviously know about flooring with heat under it. Project. And obviously if you google best electric wall heaters you’ll come up with an assortment of varied prices.
Does it get any sun? HD has started to advertise a new Tesla solar product for walls, I think. Out of the box thinking, but one wall that the light hits might help. look up Tesla Powerwall. Inside/outside. Who cares?
