Creating a Master Spa Bathroom Experience
The goal for this master suite project, managed by the Borchert Building Company, was to create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere where the homeowners could truly unwind. A critical element of achieving this luxury feel was eliminating the shock of stepping onto a cold tile, marble, or stone floor—a discomfort common to bathrooms in the cold Michigan climate.
To solve this challenge, the team selected a WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll for the in-floor heating system. The Flex Roll's "cut-and-turn" design made installation quick and easy for the 72 square feet of heating coverage. The flexible mat was rolled out according to the custom SmartPlan, cut to turn at the ends of runs (without cutting the heating cable), and secured to the subfloor. Once the mat was set and tested with the provided Circuit Check, a thin-set mortar or self-leveling cement was applied before the final tile surface. This application method ensures maximum thermal transfer, turning the beautiful, but chilly, stone surface into a source of gentle, ambient radiant floor heating. The result is a high-efficiency comfort upgrade that truly completes the master spa experience.
