Project Information
The primary challenge in this New Canaan bathroom was the inherent coldness of the natural stone flooring. While tile and marble are beautiful, they draw heat away from the body, making them uncomfortably cold, especially during colder months. The homeowner desired a permanent, reliable, and discreet solution that would not require extensive renovation.
The installer utilized the TempZone TM Flex Roll, a reliable electric radiant heating mat ideal for square and rectangular spaces. The installation involved rolling out the pre-sized mat and securing it to the subfloor before the marble tiles were laid. The system was then connected to the nJoy WiFi Thermostat, allowing the homeowner to easily program heating schedules and control the warmth remotely from a smartphone. The result is a dramatically warmer space that elevates daily comfort and adds an attractive, modern luxury feature to the home.
