Why Underfloor Heating Is a Great Addition to Your Bathroom

In recent years, underfloor heating in bathrooms has moved from being a luxury feature to a highly sought-after addition. Homeowners who already have bathroom underfloor heating regard it as an improvement in comfort, as well as an efficient way to heat such a small space. In today’s post, Ben’s Construction Inc. takes a look at why you should include underfloor heating in your bathroom remodeling plans.

Underfloor Heating Is Energy-Efficient

Unlike traditional radiators that heat from one point, underfloor heating offers an even spread of heat across the entire floor area. Since heat naturally rises, it turns the floor into a radiant heat source that eliminates cold spots. The efficiency of UFH systems, especially when properly installed and utilized with a programmable thermostat, can lead to significant energy savings over time.

Underfloor Heating Works With Most Types of Floor Tiles

Properly-installed underfloor heating systems are unlikely to cause damage to most common types of bathroom flooring, including tiles. Porcelain or ceramic tiles, in particular, conduct heat well, making them ideal for this application.

Underfloor Heating Saves Space

Underfloor heating eliminates the need for a radiator and saves on precious bathroom real estate. The extra space can give you more flexibility in your bathroom design. Whether you’re going for a minimalist look or just want wall-mounted fixtures, underfloor heating gives you that choice without worrying about building around a heating radiator.

Underfloor Heating Can Boost Your Home’s Value

Underfloor heating in your bathroom is not just about immediate comfort and efficiency; it can be a long-term investment. If you are considering selling your home, bathrooms with underfloor heating are sought after by home buyers, and for good reason. They offer a level of luxury and comfort that isn’t part of a typical bathroom, and having it at the point of sale eliminates the need for a major bathroom remodel.
