A Warm Solution for Cold Laminate Floors
The challenge for this Coquitlam, BC, bedroom was a common one: the homeowner loved the modern look of laminate wood flooring but dreaded the cold shock of stepping onto it each morning. They were seeking an energy-efficient heating solution that would provide consistent, gentle warmth without the noise or dry air of forced-air systems. The primary goal was to add a layer of luxury and comfort to their private retreat.
Because the project involved a "Click Together Floating" laminate floor, the ideal solution was the WarmlyYours Environ™ system. This electric floor heating system is specifically engineered for use under floating laminate and engineered wood floors. The installation plan cleverly used a combination of Environ™ Flex Rolls and Easy Mats to provide 65 square feet of targeted warmth, perfectly covering the main walking areas and the space around the bed.
The result is a bedroom that's now a warm and inviting space, 24/7. The 817-watt system provides ample floor warming, easily controlled by a SmartStat™ programmable thermostat. This allows the homeowner to schedule heating for when they need it most—like waking up and getting ready for bed—enhancing comfort while managing energy use effectively. This radiant floor heating system silently transforms the room from a cold space into a cozy haven.
