Banishing Cold Entryway Floors
First impressions matter, but a freezing cold tile foyer can make for an uncomfortable welcome. This was the challenge facing the owner of this Roselle home, who wanted to find a solution that would transform their cold, unwelcoming entryway into a warm and inviting space for family and guests.
The ideal solution was an electric floor heating system installed under the new tile. The installation team, Jose Chavez & Associates, selected the TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable system for its power and flexibility. This cable was paired with the Prodeso uncoupling membrane, a popular combination for tile floors. This pairing not only delivers efficient in-floor heating but also provides an uncoupling layer that helps protect the tiles from cracking due to subfloor movement.
The 375-foot cable was installed at 3.75-inch spacing to provide complete, consistent coverage across the 118 sq. ft. area. To control the system, the high-tech nSpire Touch programmable thermostat was installed. This allows the homeowner to easily schedule heating times—such as weekday mornings and evenings—to maximize comfort while improving energy efficiency. Now, instead of a shockingly cold floor, family and guests are greeted with gentle, radiant warmth.
