Banishing Cold Tile in a Napa Bathroom
Hallway bathrooms are often high-traffic but overlooked when it comes to comfort. The primary challenge in this Napa home was the cold tile floor, a chilly surprise for family and guests, especially on cool mornings. The homeowner wanted a solution that was simple, effective, and wouldn't require a major renovation.
NV Design was brought in to handle the project. They selected the WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system as the perfect solution for this 14 sq. ft. space. Because the room was a simple rectangle, the "roll-out" nature of the Flex Roll made for an incredibly fast and easy installation over the wood subfloor. The mat was laid out, secured, and the installer used a Circuit Check to ensure the system's integrity before setting the new stone tile.
The result is a small space that feels like a high-end spa. The system is paired with an nSpire Touch thermostat, allowing the homeowner to program the floor to be warm precisely when needed. This small, one-time upgrade provides a huge daily return in comfort and adds significant perceived value to the home.
