A Calming Retreat Starts from the Ground Up
The original master bathroom in this home felt dated and uninviting, featuring old oak cabinets and purple laminate counters. The homeowners hired the experts at Kowalske Kitchen & Bath with a clear vision: to completely remodel the space into a calming, modern spa. While new fixtures, cabinets, and beautiful new tile were key to the visual transformation, one element was crucial for achieving that true spa-like feel: combating the cold shock of new tile floors, especially during Wisconsin's cold mornings.
Kowalske Kitchen & Bath selected the WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system for its reliable performance and ease of installation. The 32-square-foot roll was perfectly sized for the bathroom's main floor area. This in-floor heating system, featuring a heating cable pre-attached to a mesh backing, was easily rolled out and secured over the wood subfloor before the new stone tile was laid.
The system was paired with an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, allowing the homeowners to schedule their floor warming to be ready for them first thing in the morning. The result is a stunningly transformed bathroom where comfort matches the aesthetics. This efficient electric floor heating system provides luxurious, even warmth underfoot, turning the new tile floor from a cold surface into the room's coziest feature.
