The owners of this New Canaan, Connecticut, home wanted their 89 sq. ft. master bathroom to feel as luxurious as it looked. Cold marble and tile floors undermined the room's comfort, especially on chilly mornings. The project's builder, Renaissance Partners, LLC, installed a WarmlyYours TempZone™ electric floor heating system, delivering spa-like warmth, enhancing the home's value, and providing an energy-efficient comfort solution.

A Luxurious Solution for Cold Tile Floors
For a high-end master bathroom build, every detail matters. The project's contractor, Renaissance Partners, LLC, knew that the beautiful tile and marble flooring specified for the 89-square-foot space would feel uncomfortably cold without a solution. They needed an in-floor heating system that was powerful, reliable, and flexible enough to integrate seamlessly into their high-quality build.
The WarmlyYours TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable system was the perfect fit. This project used 300 feet of 120V cable, providing 900 watts of heating power over the 75 sq. ft. of floor space. The project notes indicate the installer paired the cable with a Ditra uncoupling membrane, a common and highly effective installation method. The flexible cable was laid out at 3-inch spacing and secured with plastic fixing strips before the membrane and tile were installed over it.
The result is the ultimate in-home luxury. The radiant floor heating system gently and evenly warms the entire marble floor, eliminating cold spots and turning the master bathroom into a warm, inviting retreat. Controlled by a SmartStat™ programmable thermostat, the system provides this premium comfort efficiently, adding significant value and appeal to the home.
