Why invest in heated floors?

  1. You can’t see the heater

The heating component is invisible to the untrained eye. It’s covered by ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles. These materials are effective at conducting temperature, unlike wood.

  1. You control the temperature

Think of the control as your universal heating system. It’s connected to an electric control, including a thermostat. Depending on the installer, some heated floor controls include a programmable timer. By the time you wake up, the floors are already nice and toasty.

  1. It’s safe

You don’t have to worry about the safety of your heated floors (or your feet). Every system has prevention components in place to stop from overheating. There’s no fire risk either or concerns about leaving a heater on overnight.

  1. It’s efficient to run

If you’re concerned about a heightened power bill, don’t be. By only heating the floors in the rooms you use, instead of blasting your traditional heater throughout the house, you can save money. All it takes is fore-thought. What are the rooms you use every morning?

  1. Adds value to your home

Having heating floors as a feature in your house adds commercial value, if you ever choose to sell. Not to mention the benefit to your lifestyle, now.
