A Spa-Like Retreat with Radiant Floor Heating
The primary challenge for this beautiful transitional bathroom was its large, cold tile floor. While aesthetically pleasing, the stone and tile surfaces became uncomfortably cold, making the space feel unwelcoming, especially on cooler days. The goal was to add a layer of luxurious comfort without a bulky or inefficient heating system.
The expert installation team at Dearman's Flooring provided the perfect solution with a radiant in-floor heating system. They laid 135 sq. ft. of TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable, spacing it at 3.75 inches for perfect heat distribution across the main walking areas. The cable was installed using the Prodeso Uncoupling Membrane, which not only simplifies the installation process but also protects the tile from potential cracks by absorbing subfloor movement.
The entire system is controlled by an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat. This allows the homeowners to easily set a 7-day schedule, ensuring the bathroom is warm and waiting for them every morning. The result is a complete transformation—a bathroom that feels as warm and comfortable as it looks, providing silent, even warmth that traditional heating methods can't match.
