Radiant Floor Heating Under Vinyl Tile (Tile Flooring)
Model: Vinyl Tile (#104) — installed and warranted by Easy Warm Floor (EWF)
A lot of homeowners pick Vinyl Tile purely for looks and figure out the cold-floor problem later. Solve it up front by adding radiant heat underneath from day one.
Without heat underneath, even good-looking flooring like Vinyl Tile gets skipped over in favor of rugs and slippers all winter. With it, the floor stays part of the room year round.
Installation runs about $10 a sq ft under Vinyl Tile, and unlike a space heater, it warms the whole floor evenly instead of just one corner of the room.
Tile flooring such as Vinyl Tile is a common pick for kitchens, bathrooms and basements, the rooms people complain about cold floors in most.
Even if you're renting rather than remodeling for the long haul, radiant heat under Vinyl Tile is a low-hassle way to skip cold mornings.
Day to day, it's as simple as adjusting a thermostat; Vinyl Tile and the heating system underneath handle the rest.
