3 Benefits of Heated Flooring in Bathrooms

No one likes the feeling of bare feet on a cold floor, but it’s something we’ve all experienced. Stepping out of the shower, or going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you might find yourself dreading the cold floor. That’s why many homes have installed heated flooring. Heated flooring may seem like a luxury item, but when all the benefits are considered, it’s something that might just be well worth the investment. Why might you want heated flooring for your upcoming bathroom remodel?

Energy Efficiency

You may be paying a little more for heated flooring, but in doing so, you could be paying less when it comes to your heating and cooling bills. When the floor is heated, many homeowners find there’s less need to turn up the heat on a cold night. That energy saving can help to lower your utility bills as well as reducing your carbon footprint, for homeowners who are conscious of their environmental impact. It can also be taken into account when setting programs on a programmable thermostat.

Durability

Heated flooring may seem too good to be true, but the truth is it’s not only achievable but likely to last a long time. When heated flooring is well cared for, it can last up to 35 years — potentially as long or longer than you and your family plan to live in the house. So when you purchase heated flooring, think of it as making an investment on comfort for literal decades to come. 

Increased Home Value

Heated flooring will pay you back for the investment when it comes time to sell your home. This is a coveted feature in any home, and so durable that it’s likely to last for years after the new homeowners move in. Thus it’s sure to give you a competitive edge on the housing market, making it easier for you to ask for a higher list price and easier for potential homebuyers to become attached to your home. Interested in heated flooring or other luxurious features for your bathroom remodel? Contact Jericho Home Improvements today for more information or a free estimate.
