How Much Does Bathroom Floor Heating Cost?


The cost for heated bathroom floors can vary depending on the heating system being installed and the size of the project. The price can range from $5-$12 per square foot for electric heated mats, rolls or cables with fixing strips to to $15-$20 per square foot for heating cables with an uncoupling membrane instead of fixing strips. However, the larger the project, typically the cheaper the price is per square foot for warm bathroom flooring.

For a 50 square foot bathroom (about average), with about 35 square feet that can be heated (you shouldn't install heating right up against the wall or under permanent fixtures like vanities, showers, tubs or toilets), the price for bathroom floor heating would be between $175 and $420. However, it does increase to between $525 and $700 if you use an uncoupling membrane.

How Do You Install Bathroom Floor Heating?


The answer to this question depends on a number of variables (such as the floor covering type and the shape of your room) but we can give you a general overview of how to install a heated bathroom floor.

The most common floor covering material for bathroom floor heating is tile, however waterproof vinyl materials are growing in popularity as are natural stone and marble floors. Tile is so popular in bathrooms because of the natural water resistance of the material and its ability to easily transfer heat from the heating system to the room. One very popular radiant floor heating system for warm bathroom flooring under tile is the combination of our TempZone Floor Heating Cable and the Prodeso Uncoupling Membrane. This combination helps protect your floor from cracking or popping tiles while greatly reducing installation times.



How to Install Bathroom Floor Heating Under Tile


  • Step 1: Clean the subfloor and make sure it's clear of dirt, dust, and grease.
  • Step 2: Pre-cut the membrane based on your installation plan.
  • Step 3: Dry-fit the membrane pieces to make sure they fit properly.
  • Step 4: Align all of the cable channels between pieces of the membrane.
  • Step 5: Adhere the membrane to the subfloor with the right thinset.
  • Step 6: Test the floor heating cable (you should test before, during, and after installation).
  • Step 7: Secure the floor heating cable in the membrane channels at proper spacing.
  • Step 8: Periodically check to make sure you're following the install plan correctly.
  • Step 9: Once the cable is secured, you can begin to install the tiles by back-buttering and working your way out of the room.
  • Step 10: Wait until the thinset embedding the heating cables has completely cured before turning on the heating system.
  • Step 11: Enjoy your warm bathroom flooring!
