Radiant flooring is a technology with useful applications throughout the entire home. This type of heat uses hydronics by running water through tubing underneath the floors to warm the flooring and radiate upward. Consider a few of the many benefits it can provide to decide if radiant floor installation is the right option for your heating system replacement.  

Ideal Uses for Radiant Flooring

1. Bathrooms

Bathroom flooring can get notoriously cold. A radiant flooring installation will let you comfortably walk around in bare feet on the water-resistant tiles.

2. Rooms with Large Windows

Rooms with large windows tend to get cooler than the rest of the house. Much of your home’s heat is lost through the glass. Target these areas with some extra heating in the floor, and you’ll find your home’s overall temperature becomes more consistent.

3. Mudrooms

Mudrooms can accumulate slush in the winter as family members track snow and mud in on their shoes. Radiant floor installation can help you melt all that slush. Install a floor drain to let the melted water safely drain out of the room and eliminate any slip hazards.

4. Garage

A radiant floor is beneficial if you spend a lot of time in your garage working on your car or at a tool bench. Pair the floor with a well-insulated garage door, and the space could become just as comfortable as the rest of the house, even during the winter.

5. Driveway

These heating systems can be used outside of the home as well. If you’re tired of shoveling your driveway every morning, install the heat under your driveway. The heat will melt the snow and ice as soon as it falls, so you’ll enjoy a clear path out every day. You can even do the same for your walkways.
