Heated Floor Installation
Electric radiant in-floor heat under tile and stone for warm, comfortable floors
How much do heated floors cost in Atlanta?
Electric radiant floor heat runs about $8 to $20 per square foot in metro Atlanta for the mat, hookup and thermostat. The tile installed over it is quoted as its own line. First Choice Tile sets Schluter Ditra-Heat, Warmup and SunTouch systems with a Wi-Fi floor-sensing thermostat, ohm-tested before, during and after tiling.
Cold porcelain underfoot on a January morning is a small daily annoyance in a lot of Atlanta homes. We install electric radiant heat beneath tile and stone using Schluter Ditra-Heat, Warmup, and SunTouch cable systems, wired to a Wi-Fi thermostat with an in-floor temperature sensor. Because the heating layer goes in with the tile, it is planned as part of your tile job and delivers quiet, even, zoned warmth in bathrooms, kitchens, and slab-on-grade basements with no forced air or ductwork.
What We Offer
Ditra-Heat Membranes
Schluter Ditra-Heat holds the heating cable at any spacing while uncoupling the tile from subfloor movement to reduce cracking.
Cable Mats & Loose Cable
Warmup and SunTouch mats for open rooms, plus loose cable to work around toilets, vanities, and irregular layouts.
Wi-Fi Thermostats
Programmable Wi-Fi thermostats with an in-floor sensor to schedule warmth and hold a precise floor temperature.
Load Calculations
We size wattage per square foot and coordinate a dedicated circuit with your licensed electrician before tile goes down.
Zoned Comfort
Separate thermostats for the master bath, kitchen, or basement so you only heat the floors you actually use.
Tile & Stone Pairing
Radiant cable set under porcelain, ceramic, marble, travertine, and slate, with thinset and cure times matched to each material.
