How to Install a Heated Floor | Bathroom Remodel Part 6

This week, I installed a heated floor in the bathroom. I had never installed a heated floor before and I was definitely a bit nervous, but the Schluter Ditra Heat system made it a lot easier! The kit comes with everything you'll need all in one package. Check out the video to see just how easy this project is!

Excellent work and good tutorial you are so good. I like how neat your work is and the great attention to detail. Really cool

[MsJPrecious]

This is amazing!! Hopefully I can do that in the UK without complications...❤👌🏾

This is the exact unit and same tile we did in our bathroom!

When you do heated floors, you shouldn't use them for the first month they're installed. Even though the mortar sets in a day or so, it doesn't fully cure for heating purposes for about a month. Yeah, it's cured for room temperature in a day, though. If you use the heater before the cure is fully done, your tiles will start to split in about a year because your mortar bed has gone bad.

Excellent video. We are filming a 123 year old house renovation. We plan on installing heated floors in the bathroom, also. This video has great information. Thanks.

i've heard some negative comments about these tiles. i hear that they always look dirty unless they are wet. But i really like them, do you find that to be the case or are you happy with the tile choice?

Great vid.

I wish you had a follow up video with how its working and how you like it. How warm does it get your bathroom overall? Thanks. 😊

Nice job, how many square feet did you install (cable)

[Josco]

Thank you! You did some beautiful work! Inspirational!

I need to know what I can use as the subfloor. He missed that part.

[yvettesalcido]

Can it be used under luxury vinyl flooring?

[sassylrhg]

Thank you!!! Im a visual learner. This helped.

I wonder if living in a really damp, cool/cold place would make condensation happen in the area between floors, under this heating system, which is under a porcelian tile floor of a 2nd floor bathroom, and from that condensation, mold could grow?

I watched the whole video and I would have normally skipped the part about wiring the tstat and feeding power. You quickly said I’ll hire an electrician to do that and I was like perfect no need to fast forward that part. I’m a licensed electrician and have done that part many times but I’ve never actually laid the flooring myself, so great video.

The dude who put our under floor heating down in the bathroom forgot to secure the toilet pan to the floor and it now wobbles around. I am about to drill through the tiles to secure the toilet pan but I'm worried about getting a shock. What do you suggest? I have heard about strong glue too secure the pan to the tiles which would eliminate the need to drill however I would imagine this is only a temporary solution.

Does anyone know how fast the floor heats up and for that matter cools off?

[TwinPalmsOnA]

If my bathroom floor is 100sq ft, how do I get more material?

[calebob]

Great videos! It's giving me confidence for our own reno coming up.
How did you pitch the tiles in the window and nook? Simply additional mortar or was something placed under it?

[meredithseiss]

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the cost to do this?
