Radiant Floor Heating: Shiver No More

Isn’t it rather annoying when after a warm and invigorating bath; you step out of the tub and feel the stabbing cold of the floor crawling up your body through your feet? Or how about when you wake up one winter morning cozy and warm in your bed and get an unpleasant awakening when you step on the freezing tiles? Stop getting pestered by cold tiles; get yourself a floor heating system.

With radiant floor heating, you can walk comfortably at home even in extremely cold conditions. This is a good system to have in partnership with your room heater to ensure maximum comfort. The way that floor heaters work is that very thin electric wires are run through underneath the floor tiles. The wires are ultra-thin causing only a miniscule 3/16th of an inch of elevation. If you are wondering whether the system is safe to use in areas that get wet such as the bathroom or the kitchen; the answer is yes. The floor heating system uses insulated electric wires that are connected to a standalone circuit breaker to make sure that the system works well and safely even when wet.

If you plan on installing radiant floor heating though, make sure that you have tile floors that use materials like granite, marble, slate, cement or something similar because the heating system is not recommended for wooden floors or carpets. Floor heaters are available online and are safe and easy to install yourself.
