For homebuilders and renovators alike, there are a multitude of uses for floor warming mats in homes. Bathrooms, kitchens and entryways are ideals places to incorporate radiant heat. Tile, marble, slate, and even hardwood are floor coverings that are cold to step onto with bare feet during winter or summer. Floor warming mats can be installed under these surfaces throughout the home and take the cold bite out of these areas. Just think: you’ll never have cold floors or feet again!
Another area of the home that floor warming mats make sense is in the basement of your home. Basements are one of the top requested areas to add floor warming. Due to the fact that forced air systems heat air and hot air rises, the basement is usually the living space that remains cold. New construction is the best time to add radiant heat to a basement, but in many cases it can be accomplished via a remodel, or before getting new carpet.
Floor Heating Tip: Whether you’re building a new home, or remodeling your existing home, floor warming mats are a great way to add comfort and efficiency to the rooms in your home that are traditionally hard to heat.
