anybody put heated bath and kitchen floors under ceramic tile?

[Just Don]

just wondering if anyone has put heat mats etc under bath and kitchen ceramic tile. How long does it last? Any problems? one brand better than others?or worse?.

It can get down to 20 below here, granted its inside but cold still radiates in on the floors. Throw rugs work also but defeats the til aspect other than its their rugs,,,and subject to there cleaning.

I have heard people love it,,but they may have been homeowners. Dont think operating cost is much,,or is it?

Going to be at the cant turn back stage of doing or not in next day or two so need a quickee opinion.

We have suntouch under our kitchen (part) and master bath tiles, it has been about 7 years and they are still doing great.. But, why would you want to put them in a rental, unless it is high end and this can be a selling point? (would be great at resale, admittedly) Just one more thing to keep up with on a rental.

Regarding operating costs, we keep out home at 68 degrees in winter and go barefoot or wear socks, so the added heat at the feet is a comfort. Havent noticed a big change in the electricity bill. The heated part of our kitchen is also our favorite hang out spot for the family in winter- would definitely recommend for a personal home.
