Turn Up the Coziness with Heated Tile Floors
An underfloor heating system is one of the best little luxuries you can give yourself and your family. These systems keep your tile floors comfortably heated across the entire room, maximizing comfort.
Where to Use Heated Floor Tile
Bathrooms
If you are considering adding radiant heat flooring, a heated bathroom floor is a great place to start. Bathrooms tend to have smaller footprints, so the cost to install is more accessible. And radiant heating helps dry out moisture on the floor, reducing the risk of slips and the growth of mold and mildew.
Bedrooms
A heated floor makes installing tile in your bedroom a much more attractive choice. In-floor heating provides constant, even heat distribution, keeping the floor nice and toasty. This can make bedrooms feel more inviting and cozy, especially in colder climates.
Kitchens
Installing heated flooring for tile kitchens can make each mealtime more comfortable for everyone. With underfloor heating, tiles stay evenly warm, ensuring your feet are always comfortable, no matter where in the kitchen your cooking takes you.
Best Materials for a Heated Tile Floor
Porcelain and ceramic
These are the most popular choices for heated floors because they are excellent conductors of heat, so they heat up quickly. They are also highly durable and come in a wide variety of styles, so you can easily find a tile that plays well with a heating system that also stands up to wear and tear and looks good doing it.
Natural stone
Materials like granite, marble, slate, and travertine are excellent for use with in-floor heating. Natural stone has high thermal conductivity, so it will heat up quickly and evenly. And, as a natural material, these materials are used to putting up with the sun's rays so they are especially well suited for the relatively moderate temperatures of an underfloor heating system.
Luxury Vinyl
Most LVP flooring is suitable for use with radiant heating systems. They are relatively thin, making heat transfer quick. Still, it's a good idea to check with the manufacturer to make sure the specific LVP you are considering is designed to be used over a radiant floor heating system.
