Bringing Luxurious Warmth to a Martinez Master Bathroom
The primary challenge for this Martinez, CA homeowner was the famously cold feeling of tile flooring in the master bathroom, a major deterrent to comfort, especially during cooler mornings. Seeking a permanent solution beyond temporary rugs or space heaters, they chose to upgrade with WarmlyYours electric floor heating.
The solution involved a custom-designed TempZone™ Custom Mat system. Custom mats are precisely engineered to fit the exact dimensions and curves of a specific room, drastically simplifying the installation process for the installer. Because the heating cable is pre-spaced on a fiberglass mesh, the installation was quicker and ensured perfect coverage across the full 61 sq. ft. of the floor. The system was placed directly over a wood subfloor and encapsulated in thin-set mortar before the new tile was laid. This process of using in-floor heating permanently solved the problem of cold tile, transforming the master bath into a warm, inviting oasis that enhances the daily routine. The resulting radiant floor heating system is a silent, energy-efficient comfort upgrade that adds a premium, spa-like feel to the home.
Featured Products
- TempZone™ Custom Mat (120V): The heart of the system. This electric radiant heating mat is made to a specific shape and size to ensure maximum coverage in irregular rooms, drastically cutting installation time while providing even, reliable in-floor heating beneath the tile or stone surface.
- nSpire Touch Thermostat: A sleek, programmable control with a 3.5” color touchscreen. It features an integrated self-testing GFCI and provides maximum control over the floor temperature with 4 programmable events for each day, ensuring the floor is warm exactly when needed for optimal energy-efficient heating.
- Circuit Check (SS-01): Essential for a successful installation, this tool constantly monitors the heating cable during the installation process to ensure its integrity before and after the flooring is laid.
