Under Floor Heating thermostat - Inside or Outside the Bathroom?

I'm sure he is well knowledgeable but a good forum person is not someone who simply knows everything but one who is capable but more importantly willing to communicate their knowledge to everyone equally. Not matter how experience or inexperienced that person is.

So back to me initial question. I have taken everyone's excellent response and have decided to opt with keeping the thermostat and fused spur outside of the bathroom. The reason being ;

1. It was clearly not black and white with either of my electriacians so I dont want to run the risk of having to re-tile once building inspectors come around to sign it off. And although it would be a problem for the electrician to sort out if will still also mean I need to take more time off work and also have the tiles replaced.

2. It will increase the longevity of the thermostat due to moisture ingress.


Thanks for everyone's response. A Very helpful forum indeed!

I think you have done the right thing . That is a small bathroom.

But it would be if they bothered to properly understand the regs, the zones and knew the ratings of the equipment they were installing.

I note you still don't acknowledge the zones you used were wrong.

It's not my job to, it is the electricians to know this. Like I have said previously I had two electrcian give two solutions to the same issue. Hence why I came on here

and you STILL won't acknowledge your drawing showed the measurement from the wrong zone...

anyway I did say "if they" meaning the sparks, not you...

OK. Well, thank you for your useful input on this.

Thanks, I'll check the IP rating of the thermostat before phoning him. Maybe he noticed it was not suitable. cheers ruston
