A Bathroom Upgrade in York, PA
The master bathroom in this York, PA home featured beautiful tile flooring, but its thermal properties meant it was consistently frigid, especially during the long Pennsylvania winters. The homeowner sought a comfort upgrade that was both efficient and easy to install beneath their existing subfloor (wood).
WarmlyYours' radiant heat experts custom-designed a solution that specifically targeted the 99 square feet of walkable floor space, avoiding fixtures like the vanity and toilet. The chosen TempZone™ Flex Roll allowed the contractor to use a simple "cut-and-turn" method, making the installation process straightforward and quick, even beneath the selected tile. The low-profile heating roll is less than 1/8” thick, ensuring no significant change in floor height.
The outcome is a perfectly warmed surface, eliminating the unpleasant shock of cold tile. By introducing in-floor heating, the homeowner solved the specific problem of a perpetually cold room, achieving superior radiant comfort and making the bathroom a truly luxurious space.
Featured Products
- TempZone™ Flex Roll (TRT120-1.5x66): The core of the floor warming system. This 120V twin-conductor heating cable is affixed to a fiberglass mesh, making installation quick and easy, especially under hard surfaces like tile, marble, and stone. It provides a powerful and consistent 15 watts per square foot of heat output.
- nHance Thermostat (UDG-4999): A programmable control with a built-in GFCI that allows the homeowner to set a customized heating schedule, ensuring energy-efficient heating by only running the system when needed.
- Circuit Check (SS-01): An essential installation tool that continuously monitors the heating cable for continuity, ensuring a fault-free installation before the final flooring is laid.
