A Dual-Comfort Upgrade for a Master Retreat
When planning this master bathroom renovation, the primary goal was to eliminate the shock of stepping onto a cold tile floor, a necessary comfort upgrade for a Michigan home. Borchert Building Company, the trusted installer for this project, chose WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll for its proven reliability and easy, time-saving installation within the 31.5 square foot heated area.
The electric floor heating system was installed directly beneath the new tile, marble, and stone, providing consistent, luxurious warmth precisely where it’s needed. The low profile of the radiant heating element ensured a smooth installation without raising the finished floor height. The project was completed with the addition of a sleek, hardwired Sierra Towel Warmer, offering the homeowner the indulgence of a warm, dry towel after every shower. The dual-comfort solution elevates this ordinary bathroom into a true personal spa, delivering radiant comfort and significant added value.
