Adding heated flooring to the kitchen

My kitchen is being remodeled as we speak.

  • I have spared no expense to make it the kitchen of my dreams.

What is nice is that my kitchen is really small, so buying expensive products isn’t an issue. I was able to get the best quartz countertop because there simply isn’t that much. I have custom made all the wood cabinets being installed. I even splurged for better hardware, lighting and a sink. I am going to love my new kitchen. I even decided to add heated flooring. That was a last minute item and very expensive. I thought about it and decided it was better to overplan than under. My kitchen always gets super cold in the winter. I used to rely on a ventless heater against the wall. I removed that to get more lower cabinet space. I wanted to have some other form of heating. A ductless heater would have been wall mounted and taken upper cabinet square footage. With heated flooring everything is safely hidden under the floors and takes up no space. Since it is electric heated mats there are no cold spots, heat rising or noises when the system operates. It is said to be energy smart due to objects feeling heated when they come into contact with the floors. That means I should be able to lower the thermostat a bit and save money. Heated flooring should pay back itself. I also like that it just seems so classy to have heated floors. I will be able to do dinner prep in the winter without socks on.
