Review Us on Google Radiant floor heating is a convenient way to warm up the rooms throughout your home. Radiant heating efficiently increases the temperature of the room and also distributes that heat more evenly. Natural stone, ceramic tile, laminate wood, and porcelain tile all make great radiant heat flooring choices for your Bellaire, Texas, home.
Natural Stone
Slate, granite, marble, and other types of natural stone work well when laid over a radiant heat system. They don’t expand or contract when exposed to heat, which means you won’t have to replace damaged tiles. Additionally, natural stone conducts heat well, so you should feel the impact of the heat as soon as you turn on the system.
Ceramic Tile
If you are looking for an inexpensive but attractive flooring option for the “wet” areas of your home, such as bathrooms, ceramic tile pairs well with radiant heat. It responds to heat quickly and holds it well, just like natural stone, but it’s easier to install and maintain.
Laminate Wood
If you love the look of natural wood, but you want to enjoy the benefits of radiant heat, laminate wood planks offer an attractive alternative. They won’t warp and contract like natural wood, but they offer a similar rich grain and smooth texture. Laminate won’t absorb and transfer heat as well as stone or tile, but you’ll still feel warmth through the planks.
Porcelain Tile
Although it costs more than ceramic, porcelain tile offers increased durability and a longer life expectancy. It absorbs and transfers heat well, which makes it a suitable choice for radiant heat flooring systems, and its low porosity makes it ideal for areas that might get exposed to moisture.
Radiant heat offers an efficient way to improve home comfort, but you’ll want to consult our experienced technicians to ensure correct installation and maintenance.
