10 Best Bathroom Remodeling Trends | Bath Crashers

There are two types of radiant flooring, electric and hydronic (water). Electric mats are easier andless expensive to install because you don't need a separate system to run the heat, they can run offyour home's electrical system. Hydronic systems need a separate power source, like a heat pump torun the water through the pipes. A hydronic system is more expensive to install, but in the long run,it is more affordable to operate.

Either way, radiant floor heat works best with natural stone and tile because their thermalproperties hold the heat better.
