Project Information

Cold bathroom floors are a daily discomfort, especially when stepping onto tile or stone in the morning. This New Canaan, CT, project aimed to eliminate that shock entirely. The homeowners chose to renovate their master bathroom, replacing the existing floor with beautiful, but often cold, tile and stone. They recognized that a successful remodel required addressing the floor's temperature to truly deliver a sense of luxury.

The TempZone™ Flex Roll was the ideal solution for the 57 sq. ft. space, offering fast, easy installation under the new tile. The roll format simplifies the process by spacing the heating cable uniformly, ensuring consistent heat across the entire surface. Crucially, the system was paired with the nJoy WiFi Thermostat, allowing the homeowners to program a schedule and remotely control the heat from their smartphone—a modern touch for a modern luxury home. The result is a consistently warm, inviting master bathroom that elevates their daily routine and maximizes the enjoyment of their new flooring.

Featured Products Section

TempZone™ Flex Roll This electric radiant heating roll is specifically designed for quick and flexible installation under tile and stone floors. The mat consists of the heating cable affixed to a mesh material, allowing it to be cut and turned to fit nearly any room shape. It provides 15 watts per square foot for powerful, consistent heat output and is backed by a 25-year warranty.

nJoy WiFi Thermostat  This fully programmable, Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostat provides precise temperature control and energy management. It allows the homeowner to set a heating schedule and adjust the temperature remotely via a mobile app, optimizing energy use and ensuring the floor is warm exactly when needed.

Circuit Check  A small but vital accessory, the Circuit Check monitors the heating element during and after installation. It provides an audible alarm if the heating cable is cut or damaged, ensuring the system's integrity before the final floor covering is installed.

* The system costs about $0.21 per hour to run at full power, based on the unit's 855 W consumption and the New Canaan, CT, average electricity rate of 24.65 cents per kWh. This efficiency translates to roughly $1.68 per day for 8 hours of luxurious warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions


The operational cost for a system like this 57 sq. ft. master bathroom floor is highly economical, typically running for less than $10 per month. The low wattage of electric radiant heat systems (this one is only 855 W) means they consume very little electricity, providing luxurious comfort at an extremely low daily cost.
Yes, in a well-insulated space, electric radiant floor heating can often serve as the sole heat source. While this system's primary role is floor warming for comfort under tile, a proper heat loss calculation can determine if the wattage output is sufficient to function as the primary heating system (PHS) for the entire master bathroom.
Electric radiant floor heating is ideal for tile, marble, and stone surfaces, as these materials have excellent thermal mass, meaning they hold and distribute heat very effectively. It also works well under engineered wood, laminate, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), provided the flooring manufacturer approves the use of radiant heat.
Absolutely. Electric radiant floor heating is very energy efficient because it heats objects (like the floor and people) directly rather than heating the air (like forced-air systems). It also uses a dedicated thermostat and zone heating, meaning you only heat the specific room (like this master bathroom) when it's in use, which minimizes wasted energy.
