A Spa-Like Retreat for an HGTV Makeover

As seen on HGTV's "Bargain Mansions," this master bathroom renovation in Mission, Kansas, was all about creating affordable luxury. The design called for extensive marble and tile flooring, which, while beautiful, is notoriously cold underfoot. To elevate the space from simply beautiful to truly comfortable, the design team needed an efficient way to add warmth without compromising the budget or installation timeline.

The ideal solution was electric radiant floor heating. The WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system was selected for its ease of installation and reliable performance. The 90 sq. ft. roll was quickly laid out over the wood subfloor before the tile and marble were set, providing full, even coverage across the main walking areas, including in front of the vanity and near the shower.

The system was paired with an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, allowing for precise temperature control and scheduling to maximize energy efficiency. The result is a true spa-like experience. The in-floor heating system gently warms the entire room from the ground up, eliminating cold spots and making the marble floor a source of comfort. This energy-efficient upgrade adds immense value, turning a standard bathroom into a luxurious retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The operating cost depends on the room size and local electricity rates. For this 90 sq. ft. bathroom in Kansas, it costs about $0.19 per hour. A smaller 40 sq. ft. bathroom in the same area might cost less than $0.09 per hour.

2. Can radiant floor heating be the only heat source for this bathroom?

In many cases, yes. Electric radiant floor heating provides even, efficient warmth. For a well-insulated room like this master bath, it can often serve as the sole source of heat, eliminating the need for noisy forced-air vents.

3. What flooring works best with an in-floor heating system?

This system was installed under marble and tile, which are excellent conductors of heat. Other compatible floorings include natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

4. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant heating warms objects and people directly, not just the air, making it very efficient. Paired with a programmable thermostat, you only use energy precisely when and where you want it, reducing waste compared to central heating systems.
