I decided that I was going to redo my flooring in Minnesota.
For years I have had the ugliest carpets in the world.
They were these stained ugly looking brown shag rugs that came with the home. I hated the look, feel, smell, and the way they cleaned up. Finally I decided to treat myself. I ripped them all up and considered getting tile flooring. Thankfully I have a buddy that told me about heated flooring. He said that it is the perfect time for heating installation. You gotta rip the floors anyway. Also, heated flooring works best with tile. So I picked myself a great, modern gray tile that hardly shows dirt. I also got a local Minnesota heating dealership to do the installation for me. Yes, my flooring project nearly doubled with this heating installation on top of it. But instead of another ugly rug, I have stylish tile with a heating system underneath it. I wondered if it would be too much. Having a home heater and a floor heater could be overkill. That is the thing about Minneapolis though. It gets so cold here that having two heating systems is never a bother. I love having the heat at my feet. It is silent in operation, doesn’t rise to the ceiling, and creates no cold spots since it is evenly installed. Using electric vs forced air means the air quality is better too. It is a much better system than my central heater as well. I think I am always going to own heated flooring.
