Heated Debate: Are Heated Bathroom Floors Worth It?



Anyone who’s ever stepped onto a cold, hard bathroom floor will agree that it’s not a pleasant sensation. Fortunately, a bath renovation project might hold the solution to this uncomfortable problem. Today’s blog post weighs the pros and cons of installing radiant floor heating in your bathroom.

The Benefits

Evenly Distributed Heat

Unlike forced-air heating systems that rely mostly on vents to heat up the ambient air in the room, radiant heating systems directly warm up the floor. This means radiant heating can do a great job of distributing heat uniformly. With the help of heated floors, you can say goodbye to annoying cold drafts.

Energy Efficiency

No amount of heat is wasted when it comes to radiant floor heating. This is because a properly designed radiant heating system does not have provide any opportunity for heat to escape, as in ductwork. Most home remodeling contractors offer floor heating systems that can be programmed via thermostats, so you can definitely expect some savings on energy bills.

Low Maintenance

When installed properly, heated floors are virtually maintenance-free. What’s even better is that it’s also ultra quiet so there’s no noise, only comfort.

The Setbacks

Cost

Some homeowners might balk at the initial cost of heated floors. These systems can typically set you back $10 to $20 per square foot.

Elevation

You can expect a slightly elevated floor height once the heating system has been installed. Ideally, a floor heating system should be installed as part of a larger remodeling project since it requires tearing up the entire floor.
