Heating

[nickelec]

Any ideas on how to heat a landing . I have a landing by a side door that's tiled. It's gets pretty cold obviously because it by the door but I'd like to put something either in the floor from underneath Wich I do have access to. Or maybe a baseboard or something. Anyone have any ideas?

It would be nice to add something that would add to the general heating of the space .

I think that it being open to my first floor and so cold there it puts extra load on the radiant in the floor for the room

Are you looking for some type of electric heat? A radiant heat panel opposite the door might work.

Something electric is preferred it would be kind of hard to get water there

There are electric panel heaters, as well as fan-equipped in-wall heaters.

I have the one on the right in our bath. 1500 watt. Does a great job. Definitely go with fan forced

I agree with the forced air in-wall.
I've used them in bathrooms and a couple of times in closets. They're really good

not sure of the access near your boots but a toe kick heater may work well and would be discrete, put it on a 15 minute timer switch.

A toe kick in the wall? I have access to underneath the landing and wall all under stairs is still unfinished.

just re-appropriating a design.

A toe kick Heater I don't think would work it's only a 2*4 framed wall

if there is no space behind the wall try this or put in a radiant floor unit.

just talked with a client whose house I wired. I had suggested a fan heater in their entry. They said they LOVE IT and so glad I suggested it. They like to dry and warm their boots and such. Only disadvantage is the noise.

But water might be easiest if you want to heat the floor. Most electric "floor heat" would need embedded under tile to work properly/safely. A hot water loop could be attached directly to the underside of sub floor. Won't be as direct effective as being embedded, but heat loss on underside is mostly still going to eventually be transferred to said floor.

Forced air over the floor still is mostly heating air and not the floor and will need to run almost continuously if trying to keep the floor itself warm.
