For many people, in-floor heat systems seem like a fantastical invention, one that is not in the realm of possibility. However, modern technology means that many builders and tile specialists are able to provide this service. It requires some additional investment in your floors and tiling, but there are many benefits to this system. Here are just a few of them.
No More Cold Feet
The biggest benefit of in-floor heat is very obvious—comfort! You won’t have to worry about frozen toes or cold feet in the colder months anymore. Instead of layering slippers and thick socks, you can just walk around your home barefoot if you wish. For many people, especially those who are more sensitive to the cold, this benefit is more than enough reason to install floor heating systems, even if it’s just for certain areas such as the bathroom.
Better Heating Efficiency
Although in-floor heat seems like a frivolous investment, it actually may save you money on your energy bills. That’s because it is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room. You heat the floor, which is in contact with people’s bodies, so people feel warm. Plus, warm air rises, so eventually, the floor heating will heat the whole room.
Unlike regular tiles, which increase heating bills by creating chill spots in your home, heated tiles contribute to heating your home in the winter. Their relative energy efficiency and low maintenance costs make them a popular choice.
