In-Floor Heating in the Bathroom: Yay or Nay?

Your bathroom is the closest thing to a spa that you can have in your home. What better way to achieve a spa-like vibe than to install in-floor heating? After all, warmth is synonymous with comfort. Today, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden guides you through the pros and cons of installing in-floor heating in your bathroom.

Pros of In-Floor Heating

There’s very little not to love about underfloor heating. One of the primary perks, of course, is a substantial increase in the comfort level of your bathing experience — meaning no more cold feet when you get out of the shower. From a more objective point of view, you can list energy efficiency, low maintenance and ease of installation as the top perks of having underfloor heating.

Energy efficiency – In-floor heating only needs to run at a temperature of 84 degrees or less, significantly lower than the 149-167 degrees required by traditional radiators and heaters.
Low maintenance – There’s little to no need for maintenance once your in-floor heating has been properly installed.
Ease of installation – Underfloor heating is easy to install and can be done along with a remodel.

Cons of In-Floor Heating

While in-floor heating is relatively easy to install, the time it takes to completely set requires a couple of days. So if you’re pressed for time, installing in-floor heating might be a challenge. In terms of the price tag, underfloor heating will set you back more than shower installation cost. Think anywhere from $10 to $20 per square foot, not including the cost of insulation boards that need to be installed under the heating layer to optimize energy efficiency.
