Whether you’re building a new home, or remodeling your existing home, radiant floor heating is a great way to add comfort and efficiency to the rooms in your home that are traditionally hard to heat.

You’ll soon realize that bathrooms, kitchens and entryways are ideals places to incorporate radiant heat, but they’re only the start. Tile, marble, slate, and even hardwood are floor coverings that are cold to step onto with bare feet during winter or summer. A radiant heat product 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 radiant floor heating makes sense in is your basement. Basements are one of the top requested areas to add radiant heat. 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.

One bonus to radiant floor heating is that it can be installed under almost any type of flooring, including tile, hardwood, carpet, and marble. The products you’d need to install the heating would be dependant upon what type of flooring you’d be installing it under.
