I am debating on adding heated flooring to my lavatory, and i am going to gut the space anyway.
I want to totally rework how everything is laid out; Right now there is a pressing closet to store towels, a tiny shower, pressing sink plus weirdly shaped toilet.
I want to get everything down to the barebones, and my method is to have a large shower, small sink area, little toilet plus a cubby idea for towels. I also want brand new cement on the floors plus shower walls, however while I am ripping up the floors, I could put down electric heated mats for radiant floors. It is the best time plus only option I will get to do it! Once I replace my lavatory, I won’t touch it again for possibly my whole life. It is spine-chilling making this large of a decision right now. Once the new cement goes down, it won’t be ripped up, however so do I want heated flooring in the lavatory or not? I have looked at pros plus cons plus still can’t decide. On 1 hand, if the radiant gas furnace has an issue, it cannot be repaired due to being concealed. I would just lose the flooring earlier than expected… The lifespan on heated flooring is only 15 years too. I would need to buy the mats plus kneel them down myself. It adds another step in my lavatory renovation project. The pros would be stepping onto tepid cement after a shower. I could have toasty feet when I pee in the middle of the evening. Radiant heat doesn’t rise plus get wasted on the ceiling. It is totally silent in operation. What should I do?
