Cut the Cold in Your Bathroom with Underfloor Heating

1. Cut t he Col d i n Y our B a t hr oom wi t h Unde r f l oor He a t i ng There is nothing worse than waking up on a cold winters day and having to enter a cool bathroom. Often, restrooms are made using tile, stone, or porcelain flooring due to aesthetic and the ease of cleaning. However, these materials can get cool very easily and can drop the temperature in the room vastly. Unless you are constantly wearing slippers or some form of footwear, this can be very uncomfortable and inconvenient during the colder months.Despite the simple discomforts of having a cool restroom, it can also be costly to try to warm it using traditional heat methods. When others rooms in your home are at the ideal temperature, these areas can be far cooler, making it difficult to warm them properly. Adding in small heaters can be inconvenient and many pose a fire hazard, which makes it unsafe to leave them running for long periods. Most homes do not equip these rooms with radiators or heat methods of their own. If you are tired of chilly bathroom trips and cool feet each morning, it is time to add one of the easiest and most efficient heating options on the market today, an underfloor heat system. These are designed to give you a quality heat throughout the room and keep the floor itself toasty warm. Each system will vary slightly, depending on which company you work with for installation. However, practically any type of flooring will work when it comes to adding these systems, especially those commonly used in restrooms. In order to work, your floors must be around ¾” thick or smaller, so that the heat can penetrate through them accurately. The units themselves are thin and will barely change the height of your floors, often making no noticeable difference whatsoever. However, even those that do raise it slightly will not obstruct doors from opening or change the appearance of the room. Most do not even realize that these systems are in place, other than the amazing warmth that they provide.Though the comforts alone may make adding these systems to your home seem beneficial, they have several other benefits that you should recognize as well. Comparatively, this style of heat produces far less greenhouse gases and uses less fossil fuels than other options. There are a few different styles of underfloor heating, but most tend to be more effective and in return require you to use less energy when warming your home. Not only is this great for the environment but can save you substantial money over the years.

2. Having these systems installed is relatively easy and can be completed in a few hours time. Though this can be done on your own, trusting an expert to handle the work is a much better option in most cases. They can ensure that your heating units are installed correctly and that no damage is done to the actual flooring in the room. Also, most of these installations are reasonably priced considering the amount you will save each month on your energy bills. Making sure that these systems are installed properly and work adequately now can actually make you money in the long run. Having these units present in your home increases its resale value later on down the road should you ever want to move. Though bathrooms have primarily discussed here, you can add these underfloor systems in practically any and all rooms of your home, depending on your personal needs and wants. When present throughout the home, you will get a more even and better quality warmth and lower your need to rely on radiators or other heat sources on even the coldest days.
