Shower Floor Heating Customer Reviews
We take pride in providing both exceptional service and great products. But don't just take our word for it, check out what some of our customers have had to say.
How Much Does Shower Floor Heating Cost?
Heated shower floors are one of the most affordable radiant heating projects because shower zones are small. TempZone Shower Floor Mats typically cost $10–$15 per square foot. For a standard 25 sq.ft. shower with about 15 heated square feet, expect to spend between $150 and $225 on the heating mat alone. Add a programmable thermostat ($100–$250) for a complete system.
Operating costs are minimal—a shower zone this size costs just $0.02–$0.05 per hour to run. Many homeowners program the thermostat to warm the shower floor for an hour or two each morning, keeping monthly costs well under $5. Use the calculator below to estimate your exact operating costs based on your shower size and local electricity rates.

How to Install Floor Heating in a Shower
TempZone Shower Mats install under tile in shower floors and benches. The key difference from standard floor heating is the waterproofing step—a waterproofing membrane must be applied over the entire assembly before tile is installed. Our shower mats are UL-listed for wet environments.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Step 1: Ensure the shower pan or substrate is properly sloped for drainage and structurally sound.
- Step 2: Apply a layer of modified thinset to the shower floor or bench surface.
- Step 3: Press the TempZone Shower Mat into the thinset, following your SmartPlan layout.
- Step 4: Test the heating system with an ohmmeter—check resistance before, during, and after installation.
- Step 5: Apply a waterproofing membrane over the entire assembly, including the mat and all seams.
- Step 6: Install tile over the waterproofing membrane using modified thinset and the back-butter method.
- Step 7: Allow thinset to fully cure before turning on the heating system. Wire the thermostat and enjoy!
Important Considerations
- Waterproofing is mandatory: A waterproofing membrane must cover the entire heated area, the mat, and all seams. This protects both the heating element and the structure beneath.
- UL-listed for wet locations: TempZone Shower Mats are specifically listed for use in moisture-rich environments including shower floors and benches.
- Curbless showers: For curbless or walk-in showers, check out our detailed installation guides for waterproofing techniques specific to barrier-free designs.
