Your New Heated Floors
Yes, it’s true! If you’ve suffered from freezing toes or you’re tired of the man cave feeling like…a cave, the solution is here.
New homes in Wisconsin have cold basements — it’s like a rule or something. You can kick the cold basements, though, if you have radiant floor heating installed there.
Imagine for a minute that your basement office, family room, or disco dance floor would actually be useable ALL YEAR ROUND. This is possible!
Install in-floor heating and your bare feet won’t know the difference between upstairs and down. You won’t get that tell-tale chill as you go downstairs – it’s all the same. Yay!
So, what do you need to know?
Heated Floors — The Details
Electric Radiant Floors
If you’ve got a remodel going on in your bathroom, you might want to install electric radiant heat under the floor tile. It would warm up the floor just in the bathroom. In that case, talk to your electrician to ensure that it’s set up right for you.
Electric is fine in a small area, but not very efficient, so it wouldn’t work well in the entire house, at least not in Wisconsin!
Hydronic Radiant Floors
If you are planning a new home build, hold the phone! Before you do ANYTHING, decide if you want hydronic radiant floors in your basement. Why? Because, concrete installation go fast, and your radiant floor heating needs to be installed UNDER the concrete basement floor.
You could also have in floor heat on the main floor under the tile or under the subfloor. Imagine having cozy warm toes no matter where you’re standing!
