Comfort Upgrade in an Illinois Master Bath
The challenge for this Gilberts, IL, homeowner was a classic one: how to integrate luxurious tile, marble, or stone into a master bathroom without the shock of a cold floor, especially during Illinois's long, chilly months. The stone floor finish was beautiful but inherently cold, diminishing the overall comfort of the space.
WarmlyYours designed a tailored floor warming solution using the flexible TempZone™ Flex Roll for full coverage of the 71 square feet of open floor space. The system was installed directly beneath the tile on a wood subfloor, an ideal application for radiant heat. The low-profile nature of the cable ensures no significant floor height increase, and the mat format simplified the installation process for the contractor. By transforming the cold, hard surface into a gentle, continuous heat source, the homeowner achieved the ultimate comfort upgrade and secured a lasting, energy-efficient heating amenity for their home.
Featured Products
The TempZone™ Flex Roll is an industry favorite for electric radiant floor heating. It features a heating cable pre-spaced and attached to a flexible mesh for easy "cut and turn" installation, perfectly fitting into complex room layouts like master bathrooms. This twin-conductor heating element is ultra-thin (approx. 1/8") and provides 15 Watts/sq. ft. of comfortable, consistent heat directly beneath tile, stone, and marble, ensuring quick floor warming.
nSpire Touch: Touch Thermostat (UDG4-4999-WY)
This programmable thermostat is the control center for the radiant system. It features a full-color touchscreen with an intuitive interface, allowing the homeowner to easily set up a custom heating schedule. The built-in GFCI and floor sensor ensure safe and efficient operation by cycling the system to maintain the perfect floor temperature, further enhancing the system's energy efficiency.
The Circuit Check is a crucial installation accessory used to monitor the heating cable during the installation process. It provides an audible and visual alert if the heating element is damaged (cut or nicked) while the flooring is being installed, preventing common errors and ensuring the system is functional before the final floor covering is laid.
Electrical Rough-in Kit (FHE-ROUGH-IN-KIT-S3)
This essential Rough-in Kit contains the necessary electrical components to safely bring the heating system's power leads and the floor sensor from the floor level up to the thermostat location. It typically includes a single-gang box and flexible conduits, ensuring compliance with electrical codes and protecting the heating cables during and after installation.
