BATHROOM – Heating units
What have you found to work best in heating a bathroom?
The normal house heat will be AC and FAU.
I could do the fan/light/heater drill, but it seems that the fan just sucks the heat out at the top.
Any effective wall units? Something that blows warm air about.

Kind of open ended question needing more info.
What's the floor material?
New construction or remodel or addition?
Square footage?
& a few other questions will pop up I'm sure.

Tile, remodel of a '50s tract home, 3 bedroom, and they are really putting in the bathrooms. Had two. Now has a master bath, another adjacent that is being divided into two - one a partial opening on the pool, then another across the hall.
All the old wiring is out. All the newer romex is out. They nailed one run in three places in three studs, plus a few other interesting things. Can't trust anything we didn't put in the walls. The ToolBear

Since you either have a forced air unit or are installing one is there duct available to put in a grill, or is there an exsisting grill.
I agree about the combo light/heater/fan those are about useless unless it has an infared style heater in it & it can heat an object away from the fan.
I like my tile floors to be warm to bare feet, electric radiant systems work pretty well on a small scale. Thermosoft & Warmly Yours are a couple of reputable companies.
Now with all radiant systems they are not fast like a forced air unit but they heat more evenly than a forced air.“When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works.” Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist

Yeah, there are some electric radiant heating units that have fans. About 1500 watts. The one I used in my old house recessed into the wall and was about 15" wide and about 24" tall. With a small to medium size bath, it got real toasty in about 5 minutes. I got it through my local hardware store special order.
