Turning a Cold Tile Floor into a Warm Oasis
When remodeling their master bathroom, the owners in Crystal Lake selected a stunning wood-look porcelain tile. While beautiful, they knew that tile floors, especially in Illinois, can become uncomfortably cold during chilly mornings and winter months. They wanted to ensure their brand-new, spa-like retreat delivered comfort from the ground up. The goal wasn't just to have a beautiful bathroom, but one that felt truly luxurious and inviting every day.
The project installers, Diamond Bath, LLC., recommended an electric floor heating system from WarmlyYours to solve this exact problem. They used 69 square feet of TempZone™ Cable, which offers great flexibility for rooms with custom layouts. The cable was installed at 3.75" spacing directly into the Prodeso uncoupling membrane. This membrane is an excellent partner for in-floor heating as it provides a stable, waterproof substrate for the tile while also making the cable installation fast and simple.
The system was paired with an nSpire Touch WiFi thermostat, allowing the homeowners to program the floor warming schedule directly from their smartphone. Now, they can wake up and step onto a perfectly warm floor every morning. The radiant heat rises gently from the floor, warming the entire space efficiently and eliminating the cold shock of tile. This efficient upgrade successfully transformed the bathroom into the comfortable, high-end oasis the homeowners envisioned.
