We hear of many homeowners who love tile or wood in their kitchens and living areas but worry about their little ones playing and pitter-pattering on cold floors. Many others love the look of tile, wood, or floating woods but dread stepping out of their soothing hot bubble bath onto cold tile, especially during those frigid winter months. And That’s why so many are opting for radiant floor heating systems to warm up their floors.

The installation of radiant floor heating is not new: heated floors have been installed under bathroom and kitchen tile in the United States for the past 10 years and the warming products continue to gain popularity. Many in the kitchen and bath industry expect radiant floors to continue to play a big role among homeowners who crave comfort features.

Evenly distributed radiant heat in your floors will allow you to turn down your thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40%. This setback to your thermostat can happen because a radiant floor heats from the ground up and delivers the heat through objects not air. This makes the lowest three feet of your home the most comfortable where a forced air system loses its heat to the ceiling and is required to heat from the top down. Delivering heat by air also makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss.
