Can make for a more comfortable room
Perhaps you or someone you know has a home that is constantly cold. No matter how much you turn up the heat, the house remains cold. Having a drafty house happens. Cold homes are typically the result of a home that isn't insulated very well. Radiant, or heated flooring, can make a room much more comfortable without the need to jack up the heating. Homeowners that have radiant flooring talk about how nice it is to step onto warm bathroom tiles on those cold winter mornings. While we may not be radiant flooring people ourselves, we can see how it would be a nice edition to a cold, drafty home.
Resale value
Every upgrade you put into your home gives it the potential to have a higher resale value later on down the line. With this in mind, radiant flooring could be a nice addition if you plan on selling your home later. An upgrade like heated flooring could certainly usher in some bids on your home for those buyers who want heated floors.
Quiet operation
One of the most commonly asked questions in regards to radiant flooring is "Is it loud?" Surprisingly many homeowners and radiant installers alike report little to no sound from the flooring. Compared to forced-air or radiator systems, radiant flooring is considerably quieter.
Gives homeowners the ability to use forced-air and radiator systems less often
Rather than continually running the heat all winter long, radiant flooring gives homeowners the ability to run their heat less, which is nice for homeowners looking to save some money on heating bills. It also eliminates the dust and allergens that are associated with forced-air.
