A Master Bathroom Comfort Upgrade

The challenge in this luxurious New Canaan master bathroom was common: the elegant tile, marble, and stone flooring, while beautiful, became uncomfortably cold, especially during Connecticut's chillier months. The homeowners desired a true comfort upgrade—a solution that would complement their high-end finishes without disturbing the aesthetic or requiring major, costly HVAC changes.

WarmlyYours solved this with a custom-designed electric radiant floor heating system utilizing the versatile TempZone™ Flex Rolls. The installer found the cut-and-turn mat easy to customize and fit perfectly within the 57 sq. ft. space, ensuring full coverage where it mattered most. The low-profile nature of the floor warming system meant no added floor height, allowing a seamless installation under the finished flooring. Paired with the programmable SmartStat™ thermostat, the system offers precise temperature control, ensuring the floor is perfectly warm exactly when needed—from the first step out of bed to the last step before turning in for the night. This installation transformed a cold room into a true at-home spa retreat, proving that absolute luxury includes radiant comfort underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run heated floors in a New Canaan master bathroom?

Running this 57 sq. ft. electric floor heating system in New Canaan, CT, costs approximately $0.05 per hour. This low operating cost is due to the system's efficiency and the use of the programmable SmartStat™ thermostat, which runs the heat only as needed.

2. What type of flooring works best with the TempZone™ Flex Rolls system?

The TempZone™ Flex Rolls are engineered for ideal performance under hard surfaces like tile, marble, or stone, as used in this project. These materials are excellent thermal conductors, which quickly and efficiently transfer the gentle, radiant warmth to the surface for maximum comfort.

3. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant floor heating is highly energy efficient because it heats objects (the floor and people) directly, unlike forced air which heats the air. Paired with a programmable thermostat, the system only operates during scheduled times and can often be used to supplement—or even replace—other heating sources in the room, leading to energy savings.

4. Can radiant heating replace the main heating system in this bathroom space?

In a small, well-insulated space like this luxury master bathroom, the 15 watts per square foot output of the TempZone™ system can often serve as the primary heat source. For this 57 sq. ft. bathroom, it provides ample comfort and can significantly reduce the demand on the home’s main HVAC system.
