The owner of this tiny forever home in Utterson, Ontario, needed a special heating solution for her prized music studio. The challenge? This space housed an antique cello, an instrument highly sensitive to the dry, fluctuating temperatures of traditional forced-air systems. The goal was to create a consistent, gentle warmth to protect the instrument and make the studio comfortable for hours of practice.
WarmlyYours provided a custom-designed TempZone™ radiant floor heating system, delivering uniform, silent comfort that protects valuable instruments and makes this creative space truly inviting.

Creating the Perfect Creative Environment
When Cheryl Okrant planned her tiny home, the music studio was a top priority. Traditional heating was not an option, as it could circulate dust and create dry air, posing a risk to her antique cello. She needed a heating solution that was gentle, consistent, and completely silent to maintain the perfect environment for both practice and preservation.
The WarmlyYours engineering team designed a custom in-floor heating layout using the flexible TempZone™ Cable. The system was meticulously planned to fit the 51 sq. ft. room, providing wall-to-wall warmth directly under the hardwood (nailed) flooring. This electric floor heating solution provides luxurious, radiant heat from the ground up, eliminating cold spots and ensuring a stable ambient temperature without drying out the air—ideal for protecting valuable wooden instruments.
The result is a perfectly cozy music studio that is both functional and inspiring. The silent operation of the radiant heating system ensures a pristine acoustic environment, while the nSpire Touch thermostat provides easy, programmable control. This tiny studio now proves that even the most specialized rooms can benefit from the superior comfort of floor warming.
