I am in the process of updating our lavatory.
I have completely gutted it down to the bare studs. The walls, ceiling & all the plumbing fixtures came out. I want to totally revamp the space. The toilet needs to be moved to a different wall. The shower controls need to transfer quite a distance too. I want a glass wall shower with an overhead spray. I also want to add a penny style floor. I observed that our lavatory sits much lower than our family room it is affixed to. I would definitely like to bring the floor up. Now I could just get a thicker brick board & solve that issue. I did find online that some people invest in radiant flooring when they redo their tile. I would add electric heated mats on top of the brick board & then our penny stone goes on top of it. That would bump up our floor to meet our lavatory perfectly. I also like the system of having heated feet in the lavatory; Radiant heating is totally silent & doesn’t stir up dust. There are no overheated & freezing spots & heat won’t rise. The plan is easily energy efficient, easy to install & can last up to 15 years. I could buy the electric mats at a hardware store & do the heating replacement myself. I just don’t see a single con with this system. Radiant heat also warms objects it touches. I am thinking our toilet is going to know like I have a heated seat. I do not care what it costs, I have to have it.
