Heavenly Heat for your Feet

The installation of the heated floor began today. In the picture to the right you will see rows of electrical wiring winding back and forth through the kitchen. This is the heating element for the floor. You'll also observe several bags of concrete. This will be poured over the wire and serve as the subfloor for the tile floor.

This is going to be a great addition to the kitchen. I've never had heated floors before, but I hear that they're pretty awesome.










Here is a close up view of the heating element. Notice how the wire is kept aligned by the track running perpendicular to the rows of wiring.










The wiring is ultimately tied to a thermostat that will control the tempature in the kitchen, mudroom, and half bath.
