Turn Your Bathroom into a Spa-at-Home
with a Heated Tile Floor

Your bathroom can be turned into a personal spa of body-embracing warmth and luxury with the inclusion of electric floor warming. These ultra-thin electric systems are affordable, safe, and install conveniently under tile and stone floors.

Perhaps you've even experienced it in a hotel or in a Spa: the heat radiates up through the tiles and allows for a warm, cozy feeling when you step on the floor.

Any bathroom can be turned into a personal spa of body-embracing warmth and luxury with the simple inclusion of electric floor warming.

Most people would prefer to step out of a shower or bath onto a soothing, pre-warmed tile or stone floor. These ultra-thin electric systems install conveniently underneath your new floor. The heat radiates up through the tiles and allows for a nice, cozy feeling when you step on the floor. Bath salts, luxurious toweling, soft lighting – there are many ways to feel pampered in the bathroom. However there is one unseen element that can elevate this sometimes cool, practical room to an indulgent spa-like retreat.

"Introducing a heated floor means never having to experience bare feet on cold tilework again", says WarmlyYours marketing director Nicolas Mottet: “Electric floor heating not only warms cold tile floors, it also fills your bathroom with floor-to-ceiling warmth”.

Despite the feeling of indulgence, the floors are energy efficient, costing just 5 to 15 cents a day in electricity. A controller enables you to program in advance what temperatures you want your floors, and when.

The process of achieving this creature comfort is not complicated either. These electric floor warming systems easily install in cement under ceramic tiles and stone floors by your local tile contractor or bathroom remodeler.

An extra tip from ABathroomGuide...! WarmlyYours features a nice project planner on their website. First, you answer a few questions about your bathroom, then you design your room online and drag-&-drop the tub, shower, sink and toilet into your plan. The WarmlyYours people will take a look at your plan and email you back a personalized quotation. Plus, you can get free shipping when you mention the coupon code WABG.
