From Cold Tile to Cozy Retreat

When Michaelson Homes took on this master bathroom remodel in Cincinnati, they knew the new tile floors—chosen for their beautiful wood-look aesthetic—had one major drawback: they would be frigidly cold, especially on chilly Ohio mornings. The goal was to deliver a high-end, luxurious space, and cold floors would detract from that experience. They needed an efficient in-floor heating solution that could be easily installed over the wood subfloor.

The WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system was the perfect fit. This 78 sq. ft., 120V roll was easy to cut and turn, allowing for quick, full coverage of the open floor space. The system was laid out and secured before the "wood tile" flooring was installed directly over it, making for a seamless integration. The project also included our SmartStat™ programmable thermostat, giving the homeowners complete control over their new radiant floor heating system.

The result is a stunning master bathroom that feels as good as it looks. The electric floor heating system efficiently radiates warmth from the ground up, enveloping the room in consistent, gentle comfort. The cold tile is gone, replaced by a warm, inviting surface that enhances the home's daily comfort and adds significant resale value.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run heated floors in a Cincinnati bathroom?

Operating cost depends on your local electricity rates and system size. For this 78 sq. ft. Cincinnati bathroom, it costs about $0.18 per hour. For a smaller 35 sq. ft. bathroom, it could be as little as $0.08 per hour.

2. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant heating is very efficient because it heats people and objects directly, not just the air (which rises to the ceiling). When paired with a programmable thermostat, you only use energy precisely when and where you want it, reducing waste.

3. What type of flooring works best with TempZone™ heating system?

This system was installed under tile, which is an ideal flooring choice. Tile, marble, and stone are excellent conductors of heat, making them feel wonderfully warm and helping to radiate heat evenly throughout the room.

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

In many cases, yes. In a well-insulated room like a bathroom, a full-coverage electric floor heating system can often serve as the primary and only source of heat, providing complete comfort and eliminating the need for bulky radiators or vents.
