Why is bathroom cold in winter?

Bathrooms don't exactly feel cosy like a living room or bedroom does. This is because they generally don't have as many soft furnishings that really give the room a soft feel, like curtains, carpet, throws, etc. In fact, the materials used in a bathroom are much harder and colder, such as porcelain tiles.

Install underfloor heating

Installing underfloor heating is a big job that could require lots of work, however if you’re having your bathroom renovated, it’s an extra that you should consider. With underfloor heating, you could do away with a radiator altogether. The floor would produce enough heat to warm up the room to the perfect temperature, while keeping your tiles warm for your feet, too. The system can be controlled using a thermostat to get the climate just right.

Recaulk the windows

Draughty windows can be a big contributor to heat loss in your home and they don’t just result in a cold bathroom, but also wasted money and energy. The energy that your gas condensing boiler has used to heat the room is literally disappearing out of the window. If you haven’t already, you should consider double glazing. The additional pane of glass acts to keep more heat in and the air that’s trapped between the two panes provides extra insulation. For homes with double glazing already installed, you may be losing heat from around the edge of the window frame. In this instance, you could remove the old caulk and apply a new layer. Caulk comes in a range of colours so you could pick one that blends in with the colour of your window frame. Not only could it make your bathroom look smarter, but it could seal any gaps in the frame to keep the much-needed heat inside.

Install thermal window fittings

To make your bathroom windows even more efficient, you may consider installing thermal window fittings, such as curtains or blinds. The thermal technology keeps the heat in the room so that the energy created by your radiator will remain there for a longer period of time. Just remember to open the blinds or curtains on a sunny day, as the sun will help to add warmth to the room. Once the sun has gone down, close the window dressings to retain the heat.

Turn your extractor fan on after your shower

When you’re in the shower or the bath, you should keep your extractor fan turned off. When it’s on, it will pull all the warm air and steam out of the room. While you’ll of course want to get rid of the steam, you may want the fan to do this after you’ve got out of the tub. Turn it on when you’re leaving the bathroom to remove the excess moisture that could cause mould.

Make use of a rug

Adding a rug to your bathroom is one of the cheapest ways to make it a cosy and pleasant room to be in. According to the National Energy Foundation, around 10 per cent of the heat in your home is lost through your floors if they’re not insulated. For those that have wooden flooring, heat loss may be noticeable and you may even be able to feel a draught. Tiles are the obvious choice of flooring in a bathroom because of their water resistance, but they’re naturally cold and might not be helping to keep the heat in your bathroom. By adding a rug, you could help to keep in some of the heat that’s been generated by the radiator and you’d no longer need to fear stepping on the tiles with no socks on.

Why can't you shower when there's a storm?

Lightning can travel through plumbing. It is best to avoid all water during a thunderstorm. Do not shower, bathe, wash dishes, or wash your hands. The risk of lightning travelling through plumbing might be less with plastic pipes than with metal pipes.

Be prepared. Check the weather before participating in outdoor activities. If thunderstorms are forecast, change plans or ensure that a safe shelter is nearby.

If inside during a thunderstorm, do the following:

Stay off corded phones. Cell phones and cordless phones are okay.

Do NOT use anything connected to an electrical outlet, such as computers or other electronic equipment. Stay out of the shower and away from other plumbing. This includes washing dishes.

Stay away from windows and doors.

If outside during a thunderstorm, do the following:

Seek shelter immediately.

Do NOT lie on the ground or shelter under a tree.

If no shelter is nearby, crouch down into a ball-like position with your head tucked and hands over your ears and your feet closely together
