Heated Tile Floor Installation

What This Service Involves

Cold tile underfoot is a common Northwest complaint, and radiant heating mats solve it while you keep the durable surface you want. We lay the heating element into the mortar bed, protect it during tiling, and wire it to a programmable thermostat. Circuits are tested before and after tile goes down so nothing is left to chance behind a finished floor. The payoff is gentle, even warmth that also helps dry damp bathroom floors faster.
