I want to add heated flooring to the kitchen
I am redoing my kitchen and I don’t want to skimp on anything. I want everything to be the exact thing I want. I have been saving money for months now and I think I am pretty much all set. I want quartz countertops and forevermark cabinets. I want all new appliances, a garbage disposal and new windows. I also have been toying around with the idea of adding heated flooring. Currently I use a ventless heater that attaches to the wall. It takes up space where I could have kitchen cupboards for storage. The little heating system isn’t all that good either. It whines, moans and poops out cold air frequently. I need to use an air compressor to blow the dust out of it monthly. Constantly the heater is telling me the filter is dirty and that it will catch on fire. In my updates I would like to remove it. I want to have heated flooring. This way the heating system is hidden under the floors and takes up no room. With radiant heating the heat doesn’t rise to the ceiling and get wasted. It isn’t air so there isn’t a worry about poor indoor air conditions. The electric heating method warms everything it touches too. The table, chairs and counters will even feel warm with it. I won’t even hear it operating since it is a silent system. This heating device is really expensive though. It doubles my flooring budget. I would need to be mindful of money in other areas. I think it might be worth it though.
