No matter who you are or where you live, I think that we can all agree that, on a cold winter morning, nobody likes to step out of bed or the shower onto a freezing cold floor. That’s why so many are opting for radiant floor heating systems to warm up their floors.

Delivering heat by air makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss. Conversely, through radiant floor heating, the evenly distributed radiant heat allows homeowners to turn down the thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40% and can be verified with your local utility company. 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.

Believe it or not, the installation of radiant floor heating is not a new development in the housing industry. 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.

Radiant Floor Heating Tip: Many in the kitchen and bath industry expect radiant floor heating to continue to play a big role among homeowners who crave comfort features.
