Elevating Luxury on Fifth Avenue

The 1212 Fifth Avenue condominiums, a classic Pre-War building, underwent a meticulous, top-to-bottom restoration blending historic charm with modern convenience. To meet the high standards of luxury expected by residents, the developers needed a heating solution that was both hidden and effective for the newly finished marble master bathrooms. Cold marble tile in a luxury residence simply wouldn't do.

WarmlyYours provided the TempZone Cut & Turn Roll radiant floor heating system for all 96 bathrooms, perfectly fitting the project's demand for full, comfortable coverage and energy efficiency. The installation was a collaborative success, carried out with impressive efficiency by RC Dolner Contractors and H.P. Electrical Designs Inc. By using a TempZone roll specifically designed for the space, the installation was streamlined, ensuring quick deployment across all 55 residences without compromising the remodel schedule.

The outcome is an unforgettable luxury experience. The warmth radiated from the marble floors ensures that these already splendid homes are comfortable year-round, solving the classic problem of cold stone floors and elevating the daily lives of residents. This invisible, silent floor warming system provides sustainable, adaptive heat, enhancing emotional well-being and increasing the overall energy efficiency of the building's new systems.


Featured Products 

  • TempZone™ Flex Rolls (Cut & Turn Rolls) : This flagship system is a premium electric floor heating solution for tile, stone, and marble floors. The thin heating cable is pre-spaced and affixed to a mesh backing, allowing installers to simply "cut and turn" the mesh to lay out complex shapes without cutting the heating cable itself. This simplifies installation, ensuring full floor coverage and providing uniform radiant floor heating.
  • SmartStat™ Programmable Thermostat :  A required component for any TempZone system, the SmartStat is a digital, programmable control that allows residents to set heating schedules based on their daily routine. This crucial element optimizes energy usage by only running the floor warming system when needed, maximizing comfort while minimizing operating costs.

* The sheer scope of this project is impressive, but the cost of comfort is surprisingly low. Based on the local New York City electricity rate ($0.31/kWh), a typical 42 sq. ft. master bathroom system costs just about $0.16 per hour to run when active.This translates to an estimated: $0.16 per hour --> $1.25 per day -->less than$38/month.

Frequently Asked Questions


In this New York City project, a typical 42 sq. ft. bathroom system (504W) costs approximately $0.16 per hour to run when actively heating. This low operating cost is achieved through the system’s energy efficiency and the use of a programmable thermostat, which ensures the in-floor heating only runs when needed.
Yes. While electric floor heating is often used as a secondary heat source, it can function as the primary heat source (or "room heat") in a well-insulated room like these new high-rise condominiums. With proper insulation beneath the heating element, the radiant floor heating system can provide all the required warmth for the space.
The TempZone Flex Roll system is engineered specifically for use beneath hard surfaces that conduct heat well. In this project, the system was installed under beautiful marble and stone floors, which are excellent heat conductors. Tile, ceramic, and slate are also highly recommended flooring options for maximum performance from electric floor heating.
Absolutely. Electric radiant floor heating is highly energy efficient because it heats objects (like the floor, people, and furniture) directly, rather than just heating the air like forced-air systems. The use of a programmable thermostat and cork underlayment (which acts as insulation, directing heat upward) further increases efficiency, leading to significant energy savings and lower operating costs compared to other forms of heating.
