Installing a Floor Heating Kit

Tile and stone floors are beautiful, yet when the weather is cold outside, cool tile or stone on bare feet isn’t an ideal feeling first thing in the morning.

To remedy this, a floor warming kit is a great way to add a luxurious comfort to your client’s home. No matter how chilly it is outside, tile and stone floors will always be comfortable on bare skin.

At Tile Pro Depot, we recommend using a Laticrete floor warming kit. Your floor warming kit can be comprised of Laticrete Strata Heat Wire or a Laticrete Floor Warming Mat and accompanied by one of the Laticrete thermostats we carry as well.

The Laticrete Floor Warming Mat is available in a large array of sizes including 1 ft., 1.5 ft., and 3 ft. widths at various lengths. The mat is also available in 120V and 240V options, allowing you to select what your client needs.

The low-profile wire is undetectable beneath tile and stone flooring, and it has a self-adhesive mesh backing to make installation all the easier. The mat is designed to work perfectly with 254 Platinum, 86 LATILEVEL, and SPECTRALOCK PRO premium grout or SPECTRACLOK PRO grout.

Laticrete Strata Heat Wire is ideal for irregular floor plan arrangements, as you can weave the wire where it’s needed. This heat wire is also great for both commercial and residential installations, and is offered in both 120V and 240V options and various lengths. It’s also suitable underneath a variety of different finished floor coverings.

Laticrete Floor Warming Thermostat

Once you’ve worked with your client to determine the best Laticrete floor heat product for their specific needs, you’ll need to help them decide on the thermostat that will best address their preferences.

At Tile Pro Depot, we carry a handful of different Laticrete thermostats, including Wi-Fi-compatible and various digital options.

The most popular and modern choice is the Wi-Fi-compatible Laticrete Strata Heat thermostat. This thermostat is a programmable and easy to use digital thermostat. It has the ability to be controlled remotely, which enables customers to take better control of their energy efficiency. It’s equipped with a 7-day programmable panel and an on/standby switch for ultimate control.

If your customer prefers something a little less high-tech, the Laticrete Floor Warming Digital Thermostat is a fantastic option. It still has the 7-day programmable panel and on/standby switch, but functions more like a traditional thermostat with a 15-ft. sensor.

No matter which option your client decides to go with, they’ll surely be pleased. Having a heated floor is not only incredibly comfortable, but more energy efficient, making it well worth the initial investment.
