The Story

For homeowners in New England, the chill of a tile bathroom floor on a cold morning is an all-too-familiar feeling. During this Providence bathroom renovation, the team at Red House Custom Building wanted to elevate the space from purely functional to a truly comfortable and inviting retreat. The primary challenge was to add a layer of luxury and comfort that would combat the room's cold tile flooring efficiently and effectively.

The ideal solution was a WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system. Designed for simple installation in rectangular areas, the 23 sq. ft. roll was laid out quickly and easily over the wood subfloor before the new tile was installed. The system was paired with an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, giving the homeowners complete control over the heating schedule to maximize comfort and energy savings. The Circuit Check™ device, included with the system, was used before, during, and after installation to ensure the heating element's integrity.

The result is a stunningly transformed bathroom where comfort is felt, not just seen. The radiant heat gently and evenly warms the tile surface, eliminating cold spots and turning the room into a cozy, spa-like oasis. This simple upgrade has fundamentally changed how the homeowners experience their daily routine, proving that a small investment in radiant floor heating delivers an invaluable return in daily comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions


Based on the local average electricity rate of about $0.29 per kWh, this specific 23 sq. ft. system costs only about 10 cents per hour. For a typical daily usage of 8 hours, this translates to less than a dollar a day for consistent, luxurious comfort.
The TempZone™ system is optimized for use under tile, marble, and stone flooring. These materials are excellent thermal conductors, meaning they transfer heat from the system to the floor surface quickly and efficiently, providing optimal warmth and performance.
Yes, it is highly energy efficient. Radiant heating warms objects and people directly from the floor up, rather than heating the air. This method, combined with a programmable thermostat, allows you to create heating "zones" and warm only the rooms you're using, which can be more efficient than running a central forced-air system to heat the entire house.
In a small, well-insulated space like most bathrooms, a WarmlyYours floor heating system can often serve as the primary and sole source of heat. It provides consistent, comfortable ambient warmth that can eliminate the need for other heating sources like vents or baseboard heaters.
