We recently installed heated tile flooring in our master bathroom and I'm so glad we took on that little bit of an extra step and got it done! What a difference it makes now that the temperatures are getting cooler! Of course, not everything went completely smoothly and we definitely learned a few things along the way. Check out the full blog post for all my tips and to see the process step-by-step!
A heated tile floor is such a luxury on cold winter mornings! Natural stone like this slate heats up really nicely.
The hardest part is definitely figuring out how you want to lay all of your wiring down to cover all the spaces that you want heated in your room.
These clever plastic guides hold everything in place and are really easy to use!
Laying large tiles over top of everything can be a bit tricky so these tile leveling clips really help you get a great end result!

    Does anyone know what the monthly cost is to run this kind of floor? We live in an old farmhouse on the north side of the mountain in WNC. The floor is tile and it's freezing in the winter! ???

    Work done is so marvelous as it does not seem as DIYers work instead its looks like that it has been done by a certified professional. Your ideas are really mind-blowing. This way you can give a stylish touch to your home decor. I also deal with flooring company in and around Orange County and our goal is to not help you choose the flooring to best suit your life style and budget, but to make the process easy and enjoyable. Great project.

    I agree that the hardest part would be figuring out all of the wiring. I have a friend who has heated flooring and finding the right way to wire it was kind of difficult for her. I am excited to try this in my home. http://feldmanbros.com
