Winter is coming. And in the Northeast, that means low temperatures, semi-permanent clouds, and a good amount of snow. But it doesn’t have to mean waking up every morning to freezing cold floors.

Heated marble floors in your bathroom, kitchen or other areas of your home mean you never have to worry about starting your day by stepping onto a freezing cold floor. One of the biggest drawbacks of indoor stone flooring is winter temperatures. But radiant floor heating and marble flooring are two things that go great together.

Radiant Floor Heating

If you are considering replacing your current bathroom, hallway, or kitchen flooring with marble, consider adding radiant floor heating. These are electric-powered heating strips that go underneath the marble flooring to keep it warm throughout the cold winter months.

Modern radiant floor heating can often be regulated the same way as your thermostat. So you can turn it on when you need it and turn it off when you don’t. Or you can set a timer so that your floors are toasty warm and comfortable when you get up in the morning but shut down automatically when you leave for work.

Radiant floor heating is easier to install if done simultaneously with new marble floor replacement. And they are a blessing during the winter months.

Warm Home, Happy Heart

You can install radiant floor heating underneath marble flooring anywhere in your home. Bathrooms are usually the most popular, but some homeowners heat the flooring in their hallways, bedrooms, kitchens, and even their basements.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that winters in the Tri-State Region are cold. But they don’t have to be uncomfortable when you have radiant floor heating underneath your marble flooring. Imagine getting up on a cold January morning and feeling the heat beneath your feet. Now that’s a luxury you need!
