So you know you want a radiant heated floor installed in your home from WarmlyYours Radiant Heating. What's next?

First, congratulations are in order! Second, there are a few key steps you should take in order to start your project off on the right foot.

Understanding Your Space and Flooring

The first step in planning your radiant heated floor project is assessing the area you want to warm and the type of flooring you’ll install. Different materials—like tile, stone, or engineered wood—affect heat conduction and system compatibility. Measure the room accurately, noting permanent fixtures (cabinets, vanities) that won’t need heating.
