Radiant Heating Solutions for your next Bathroom Renovation


Underfloor heating installed in a tile bathroom with vanity, mirrors and tub.

Most of us lead busy lives, so getting the day off to a good start is more important to our well-being than ever. It follows that the bathroom is the pivotal room in our home where we begin and end our day, getting ready for work or play and ending with preparations for a good night’s sleep. In this age of constant social media and interruptions, radiant heat offers the perfect solution to treat ourselves well with routines that alternately energize us as we begin our day and let us ease into relaxation at the close of day.
 
To maximize the benefits of radiant heating during your next home remodel, you can turn your bathroom into an in-home spa, an oasis of tranquility. And it’s not as hard or expensive as you might think. When remodeling your bathroom if you are replacing the flooring, it’s easy to add radiant heat underneath. 

If you aren’t replacing your floor, you can always upgrade your bathroom by adding a towel warmer, LAVA radiant panelLED Mirror or mirror defogger to create your own in-home spa. There are new shower waterproofing and floor heating kits, along with shower floor and bench heating systems to complete the effect. If you are replacing your bathroom flooring, these upgrades all enhance the spa experience.

How Much Does A Heated Bathroom Floor Cost?

Easy to install floor-heating systems for warming tile in a bathroom usually cost between $5-$12 per square foot for electric heated mats, rolls or cables with fixing strips. Typically a mid-sized bathroom is about 50 square feet, with roughly 35 square feet that can be heated (you can’t heat right up against the wall or under permanent fixtures like vanities, showers, tubs or toilets), so that would put the price for a floor-heating system between $175 and $420.

You can calculate floor heating costs for your specific bathroom by using WarmlyYours’s Radiant Heat Cost Calculator. For more information about the costs for bathroom floor heating in 2019 check out our recent blog on the subject.

What’s the Cost to Install Underfloor Heating?

Installation costs for floor heating can vary according to square footage.  Typically the larger the project, the lower the installation cost per square foot. An average is between $3.75 to $5.75 a square foot depending on the job size. Again, this is an estimate. For actual radiant floor heating installation costs, consult your local trade professional for specific costs in your area.

Radiant Panels offer Soothing Warmth without Remodeling

To experience the benefits of radiant heat without needing to replace your floor to install floor heating, consider WarmlyYours radiant panels. These wall-mounted radiant panels are a much more elegant and safe way to add supplemental heat to an area than a traditional space heater. They are easy to install, like hanging a painting. In fact, there are options with Swarovski crystals that are viewed as functional artwork.
 
For bathrooms, there are mirror models with towel bars that perform 3 functions; adding radiant heat, warming towels and defogging the mirror. Take a look at the wide variety of radiant panels available to meet your esthetics.

Mirror Defoggers That Clearly Define You

To efficiently prepare for your day, fog free mornings are guaranteed with WarmlyYours ClearlyYou™ Mirror Defoggers. Ready to install in several shapes and sizes, they fit most bathroom mirror types. The mirror defogger works by gently transmitting warmth across the mirror’s surface while you shower or bathe to prevent the steam’s moisture from building on the colder mirror surface. Complete with pre-attached power leads, the WarmlyYours cULus listed mirror defoggers will conveniently connect to your bathroom's 120VAC lighting fixture.

Check out our previous blog for any mirror defogger questions you may have.
