From Chilly Tile to a Spa-Like Retreat
A first-floor bathroom in Pittsburgh is a prime candidate for cold floors, and this 27 sq. ft. space was no exception. Built over a wood subfloor, the bathroom’s new tile and marble finish would have been uncomfortably cold to the touch, detracting from the comfort of the home. The goal of this overhaul wasn't just to update the look, but to fundamentally change the feel of the room.
The solution was an electric in-floor heating system from WarmlyYours. The TempZone™ Flex Roll was selected for its straightforward installation. The 1.5’ x 18’ roll was easily cut and turned to fit the custom layout of the room, providing 27 square feet of complete heating coverage. It was laid out on the wood subfloor before the new tile, marble, or stone flooring was installed over it.
The system is controlled by the SmartStat™ Programmable Thermostat, which includes a floor sensor to ensure the tile is always at the perfect temperature. Now, the homeowners step out of the shower onto a floor that is evenly and luxuriously warm. This small upgrade transformed the bathroom from a purely functional room into a spa-like retreat, all while running efficiently and quietly in the background.
