Have you ever stepped out of bed on a cold winter morning and dreaded the icy shock of your floor? Or had to tiptoe to the bathroom because your feet couldn’t bear the chill of the tiles? If you’re tired of suffering through the winter months and want to add a touch of luxury to your home, a tile floor heating system may be the perfect solution. Not only does it provide a constant source of warmth, but it can also increase your home’s value and energy efficiency.
In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits and options of installing a tile floor heating system.
Benefits of a Tile Floor Heating System
A Nuheat floor heating system not only offers warmth but also adds value to your home. Additionally, it can work as a radiant floor heating system, and it can be installed in new or existing houses. You can install the heating system under a variety of floor coverings, such as laminates, hardwood, ceramic, porcelain, and stone.
Types of Floor Heating Systems
Electric heating or hydronic heating are two ways to install a floor heating system. The first uses electric wires or heating cables to warm the tiles, while the latter uses heated water circulating through tubes to transfer energy to the floor.
The Cost of Tile Floor Heating Systems
The price of installing a floor heating system varies depending on the size of the room and the type of installation chosen. The cost of an electric system is usually less than a hydronic system. Certain models may require extra installation fees if they require additional support before floor tiles can be laid.
Maintenance and Installation Considerations
Floor heating systems are easy to install and require very minimal maintenance. Electric systems are easier than hydronic systems to install and maintain. With proper insulation, hydronic systems are more efficient. Choose a reputable manufacturer that offers warranties and consider extending the warranties beyond the minimum.
