I mentioned this to the contractor who talked to the tile guy and he said that this is standard to stay away from the toilet, but I'm not convinced this is right. Does anyone else out there with heated tile floors in the bathroom have their heat right up to where you would stand / sit at the toilet?
I just did some in floor heating in my bathroom and the installation videos specifically say not heat around/ under the toilets and vanities. I am not entirely sure why and somebody else may have a better answer but that is what I can contribute today.
