Heated flooring uses a heat source to radiate the heat upward allowing the flooring slab to absorb the heat which provides a consistent temperature throughout the flooring material and into your living space above. There are two different types of systems you can choose from, electric or hydronic.
Selecting the right heating system for your remodel is essential but knowing which type of flooring material functions the best is key. You want to select a material that optimizes the function of your heated floors such as ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone tiles. Natural wood and thin carpet will still work, but it takes longer for the heat to transfer through those materials. The Tracy Tesmer Design/Remodeling
team can help you decide which flooring material is the right fit for you.
These are only a handful of the benefits and appreciations we have heard from clients who have installed heated flooring. So, if you’re asking if heated floors are worth it, the answer in our vast experience is a resounding, “Yes!” While heated flooring may be an additional up-front expense, in the end you are saving space, time, and allowing yourself the comfort you deserve within your home.
