I am debating on adding heated flooring to my powder room, i am going to gut the space anyway.
I want to totally rework how everything is laid out! Right now there is a big closet to store towels, a tiny shower, large sink plus weirdly shaped toilet. I want to get everything down to the barebones, but my method is to have a large shower, small sink area, little toilet plus a cubby method for towels. I also want brand new stone 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 chance I will get to do it, then once I replace my powder room, I won’t touch it again for possibly my whole life. It is frightening making this large of a decision right now. Once the new stone goes down, it won’t be ripped up, and so do I want heated flooring in the powder room or not? I have looked at pros plus cons plus still can’t decide. On 1 hand, if the radiant oil furnace has an issue, it can’t be repaired due to being concealed. I would just lose the flooring earlier than expected, and 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 powder room renovation project. The pros would be stepping onto boiling stone after a shower. I could have toasty feet when I pee in the middle of the night. Radiant heat doesn’t rise plus get wasted on the ceiling. It is totally silent in operation. What should I do?
