Heated Tile Floors
Home baths are becoming more luxurious, as marble floors and whirlpool tubs are becoming increasingly popular options in new home construction or remodeling. One of the downsides of marble and other tile floors, however, is that they may leave you with cold feet. While you can line your bathroom floor with rugs, this would significantly detract from the visual impact of the marble or tile flooring. One option is to install a heating system underneath a tiled floor. These systems line the floor surface and are only a fraction of an inch thick, so they won't even be noticed once installed. They can also be paired with activation sensors to automate the heating of your tiled floor when you enter the room. If you're in the process of remodeling your home, these systems are incredibly easy to install. If you have a concrete subfloor, you simply need to prime the subfloor with a thermal primer, lay the heating cables in place, and connect them to a thermostat before covering the floor with standard tile adhesive and the tiles themselves. People with a wood subfloor first need to be sure that their floors are level before laying the cables and tile. Many do-it-yourselfers find that adding a heating system to a tile floor installation is a simple addition to their project, though it's recommended that you allow an electrician to connect the heating cables to the thermostat if you do not have experience working with electrical systems.
