I'm going to renovate our bathroom and create an ensuite and a family bathroom out of the one big bathroom.
The thing is I like baseless showers with just a tiled floor BUT I hate to walk into a bathroom with a tiled floor because they're so damn cold. I thought perhaps I was being silly but I just went away for the weekend and that just confirmed to me how much I hate tiled floors.
So, if I'm going to have a baseless shower then I guess my other option is to have underfloor heating - does anyone have this and does it actually work?
My in laws had it in their house and it was great especially on a cold morning, kept your feet warm.
BIL has it in their house also but if you do do it I think solar is much cheaper.
We went to a caravan park a few years back and they had floor heating in the shower area, wonderful.
Cost could be a factor of having it.
If you're building you can get really green underfloor heating by using solar and so on but in a renovation that might be a bit harder.
It does work, I love underfloor heating - it takes the bite out of winter.
My grandparents put it in when they built... we lived with them for a few months and I have to say i never felt the cold (where they lived regularly hit sub zero temps).
Tiles don't bother me too much, especially if you buy jumbo sized bath mats. What are the other options for bathrooms? Cork? Moisture rules out carpets... is slate any better?
My parents have their house fully slab heated and it's awesome
It is costly but they don't have any gas where they are so by the time I'd add up my gas and power bill and compare it to their power bill it's not that much more.
