The Comfort Upgrade for Cold Tile
The challenge in this Gilberts, IL master bathroom was the common problem of cold ceramic or porcelain tile, which can make the room feel unwelcoming, especially during the long Midwestern winters. The homeowner wanted a discreet, reliable radiant floor heating system that would effectively heat the floor surface and provide supplemental warmth to the entire room.
The solution was the WarmlyYours TempZone Flex Roll, a highly versatile and easy-to-install product. The 65 sq. ft. area was perfectly covered by a 1.5' x 43' roll. The installation utilized a self-leveling compound (SLC) over the substrate to embed the heating element. Using SLC is an excellent method for ensuring the entire heating cable is encased, which maximizes heat transfer efficiency and protects the system beneath the new floor.1
By installing the in-floor heating system, the homeowner achieved continuous, silent floor warming right where they need it most—underfoot. Paired with a SmartStat Programmable Thermostat, the system can be scheduled to run only when the bathroom is in use, making this a highly energy efficient heating solution that provides unparalleled daily luxury.
