Eliminating Cold Tile in an Oceanside Master Bath

When designing this large master bathroom in Oceanside, the customer, LeBoeuf and Biasotti, knew that beautiful tile and stone surfaces, while aesthetically pleasing, often come with the unwelcome feature of being cold underfoot. The challenge was to integrate a reliable and efficient floor warming solution beneath the 84 square feet of planned flooring without a complex installation process.

The solution was the TempZone™ Flex Roll by WarmlyYours. This system was specifically chosen for its ability to provide comprehensive, wall-to-wall electric floor heating coverage in large or uniquely shaped areas like a master bath with a big walk-in shower. The 1.5-foot wide roll made installation simple for the installer, ensuring the entire floor, including the vanity and open areas, would be consistently warm. The end result is a high-end, high-comfort master bath where cold tile is a problem of the past, significantly enhancing the daily experience and the resale value of the home.

3. What type of flooring works best with this TempZone™ system?

The TempZone™ Flex Roll is specifically designed for installation under hard-surface flooring materials. It works exceptionally well with tile, marble, and stone, which are excellent thermal conductors. These materials allow the heat generated by the in-floor heating system to pass through quickly and evenly, ensuring a consistently warm and comfortable floor surface.

4. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Electric radiant floor heating is a highly energy-efficient heating solution. It works by directly heating objects and people in the room, rather than heating the air like forced-air systems. This allows the homeowner to feel comfortable at a lower ambient temperature. Additionally, the system is only heating the specific room it is installed in, minimizing wasted energy compared to whole-house systems.
