From Chilly Tile to Cozy Comfort: A SmartInstall Solution
The primary challenge for this master bathroom renovation was the flooring. The homeowners loved the elegant look of tile and marble, but they knew it would be uncomfortably cold, especially during harsh Illinois winters. They needed a floor warming solution that could be seamlessly integrated into their remodel and provide consistent, luxurious comfort for the 72 sq. ft. of walkable space.
The project utilized the WarmlyYours "SmartInstall" service to ensure a perfect design and installation plan. A 72 sq. ft. TempZone™ Flex Roll was selected as the ideal electric floor heating system for this layout. The TempZone™ roll, which features heating cable pre-spaced on a mesh backing, was easily rolled out and secured to the wood subfloor. This design makes installation fast and ensures even heat distribution across the entire heated area.
Once the system was in place, the tile and stone flooring was installed directly over it. The system was paired with a modern nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, giving the homeowners complete 7-day scheduling control. The result is a master bathroom that’s no longer just functional but a true spa-like retreat. The 1080-watt system efficiently and silently warms the floor, radiating gentle heat upwards to envelop the user in comfort.
