Heated Tile Systems
Comfort, engineered — heated floors, benches, and walls integrated into your tile system.
Yes, Orlando homes get cold tile mornings. Heated tile is the upgrade most luxury baths add and the one most homeowners regret skipping. We integrate it as part of the system — not bolted on after.
What it is
Radiant comfort, under the surface.
Electric radiant heating goes between your substrate and your tile — invisible, silent, and warm. A thermostat brings the floor (or bench, or wall) to your set temperature on a schedule.
For a primary bath, the typical configuration is a heated shower bench plus a heated floor. For a full luxury spa-style suite, we add a heated feature wall behind the shower or vanity.
It is the single most-loved upgrade we install. Once a client has it, they will not build a primary bath without it.
Why a system matters
Heated tile is a system, not a product.
The cable or mat is the easy part. The hard part is integrating it with the substrate, waterproofing, thermostat sensor placement, and the dedicated electrical circuit. Done correctly, it lasts as long as the tile above it. Done incorrectly, it traps moisture or trips breakers.
Engineered substrate stack
Heating membrane (Schluter DITRA-HEAT) or cable system installed over a properly prepped substrate — uncoupled, leveled, and dimensionally stable.
Sensor + thermostat planning
Floor sensor placement is engineered into the install — too close to a duct or too far from the cable and your thermostat reads wrong from day one.
Dedicated circuit coordination
Radiant systems require a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit. We coordinate with your electrician on amperage and run direction before substrate goes down.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I really need heated tile in Orlando?
Want is the better word. Florida tile gets colder than people expect in January and February, especially on slab. The pleasure of stepping onto a 78-degree floor at 6 AM is real — and the operating cost on a programmable thermostat is minimal because you only heat when you are using the room.
How much does it cost to run?
A typical primary-bath heated floor on a morning schedule costs a few dollars per month to operate. The thermostat only runs the system during programmed windows, so it is not heating an empty room all day.
Will it ruin my tile if a cable fails?
We test the cable resistance three times during install — before substrate, after layout, and after tile is set. If a cable were to fail in the future, repair would require accessing the damaged segment. In 15+ years across the industry, cable failures on properly installed systems are very rare.
Can I add it to an existing tile floor?
Not without removing the tile. Heated systems install under the tile, between substrate and finish. We can spec it for any new tile project — primary bath, secondary bath, shower bench, feature wall, or kitchen.
