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 I ripped up all the outdated rugs, unconnected the pads underneath as well as added cement board, then once I was at the cement board I realized I was in the perfect situation to have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