From Cold Tile to Cozy Retreat

The primary challenge for this Henrico master bathroom was its beautiful but uncomfortably cold tile and marble flooring. Especially on chilly Virginia mornings, stepping out of a warm shower onto a frigid floor was a jarring experience. The homeowners wanted a comfort upgrade that would transform the room into a true oasis without requiring a complicated or invasive installation.

The solution was a WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system. This electric in-floor heating system was chosen for its flexibility and ease of installation over the wood subfloor, making it perfect for the 72-square-foot layout. The expert team at RVA Choice Cabinetry seamlessly integrated the system during the remodel, laying the heating roll before installing the final tile and marble flooring.

The system was paired with an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, allowing the homeowners to schedule heating times for maximum efficiency—warming the floors just before they wake up and in the evenings. The result is a master bathroom that is now a highlight of the home. The radiant floor heating provides silent, even warmth from the ground up, turning a cold, functional space into a cozy, spa-like retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run electric floor heating in a Henrico bathroom?

The cost varies by size and local electricity rates. For this 72 sq. ft. bathroom in Henrico, VA, it costs approximately $0.17 per hour. For a typical 4 hours of daily use, that's under $21 a month for luxurious comfort.

2. What type of flooring was used with TempZone™ heating system?

This project used tile and marble flooring, which are excellent conductors of heat. TempZone™ systems are specifically designed to work perfectly under tile, marble, and stone, delivering efficient and comfortable warmth.

3. Is electric in-floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant floor heating is very efficient because it heats people and objects directly from the ground up, rather than trying to heat the air in the entire room. Paired with a programmable thermostat, you only use energy precisely when and where you want it, reducing waste.

4. Can this 1080-watt system be the only heat source for the bathroom?

While electric floor heating provides significant warmth and comfort, it's typically used as a supplementary comfort-heating source. It excels at warming the cold floor and objects in the room but is not usually designed to replace the home's primary heating system (like an HVAC).
