A Touch of Warmth for a Television-Ready Transformation

When renovating a home for a hit show like "Bargain Mansions," every detail matters. The goal for this 158 sq. ft. master bathroom was to create a true sanctuary—a space that felt as luxurious as it looked. The design featured a breathtaking custom wet room, uniting a freestanding tub and a glass-enclosed shower against a backdrop of dramatic, textured blue mosaic tile. While the clean white hexagonal floor tiles looked spectacular, the design team knew that tile floors, especially in a large bathroom, can feel uncomfortably cold.

To elevate the space from simply beautiful to truly comfortable, a high-efficiency radiant floor heating system was the perfect solution. The installation team used a 105 sq. ft. TempZone™ Flex Roll system, which is designed for fast and straightforward installation in square or rectangular areas like this. The rolls were laid out over the wood subfloor before the hexagonal tiles were installed, ensuring the entire floor would provide even, consistent heat. This in-floor heating system is completely hidden, preserving the sleek, modern aesthetic of the bathroom.

The result is a stunning master bathroom that delivers an unmatched level of comfort. The floor provides gentle, enveloping warmth that turns a daily routine into a spa-like experience. The entire electric floor heating system is controlled by an nSpire Touch Programmable Thermostat, allowing the homeowners to schedule heating for their morning and evening routines, ensuring the floor is always warm when they need it without wasting energy. This project is a perfect example of how radiant floor heating can transform a functional space into a personal oasis of daily luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions


The operating cost for this 105 sq. ft. bathroom in Gardner, KS, is approximately $0.23 per hour. Using a programmable thermostat to run the system for 8 hours a day would result in a monthly cost of around $55, making it an affordable luxury.
In a well-insulated space like a bathroom, electric radiant floor heating can often serve as the primary and sole source of heat. Its direct heating method is very efficient, keeping the room comfortably warm without needing forced-air vents or radiators.
This system was paired with tile, which is an ideal choice for radiant heating because it conducts heat exceptionally well. Other compatible flooring types include marble, stone, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and engineered wood, giving you plenty of design flexibility.
Yes, it is highly energy-efficient. Radiant heat warms objects and people directly from the floor up, rather than heating the air, which reduces heat loss. When combined with a programmable thermostat like the nSpire Touch, you can schedule heating only when needed, preventing energy waste and lowering utility bills compared to systems that run constantly.
