When I first moved into my household I knew the first thing that had to go was the flooring.
The household was outfitted with this horrible, brown shag rug… It looked stained, ugly, plus was worn in spots.
I decided that I wanted to change from rug to tile. Tile is so much easier to scrub plus care for. It looks more classic plus modern. It also would hold up longer plus not go out of style. I did some research plus decided I could do the replacement myself. I ripped up all the seasoned carpets, unconnected the pads underneath plus added cement board, and once I was at the cement board I realized I was in the perfect situation to have heated flooring. I already owned a boiler system in my basement. I just had to hook piping to it, have it go throughout the floors, plus put my stone back on top. In fact, stone is best with heated flooring. It doesn’t absorb the heat plus gets wasted, another benefit is that the furnace is water based plus nothing gets wasted, however no sizzling or freezing spots, heated air rising, or troubles with keeping areas warmer. I made sure to call a professional heating business to do this replacement though, then even though I got the household prepped to the ideal hydronic heating replacement spot, I didn’t want to do it, messing with piping plus my fancy boiler system was beyond me. Now that everything’s all installed plus finished, I just enjoy how my household looks plus feels.
