I already did 2 of our 3 bathrooms already...saved a bunch of money...but NOW I have my girls (wife and daughter) frustrated over cold porcelain tiles in winter. They didn't like the idea of walking on electrical wires and extra expense...and more work. Now I'm thinking that for less than 5 bucks a month to run it all the time?? Maybe I should have just done it and have less frustrations over cold feet. Oh well.. Not gonna rip up the tile now! Contemplating over buying a heat lamp for overhead to replace the one that the exhaust fan shares it's habitat with.... Love your vids and willingness to share your skills and experience!

@studioone6875 5 лет назад

@jeffcarlson9306 5 лет назад

Jeff, one suggestion. The Schluter DITRA-HEAT System I installed came with 2 temperature probes for the thermostat . As I understand it, they supply two just in case one becomes inoperable and you have no way of connecting another (without pulling up the floor, which will likely damage the heat cables themselves. So you imbed two and connect one to the thermostat. The other is left in the box unconnected in case you need it in the future. Seems to be good insurance. Keep the good videos comin!

@mr.wizeguy8995 5 лет назад

That's why it's better if you install thermostat probe inside plastic sleeve so you can replace it *if/when* it broke because it's one of parts that usually get malfunction or actual thermostat device. Kinda weird that it's not recommended on installation guide on that heating system because many other it is.

Fantastic, I bought a building that was built back in 1864 and am using lots of your videos to help me through it. Though when you did the probe, what's with that 5 wheels instead of 4! I was wondering why the wire got progressively closer to the probe wire. Ooooooo!

@terriradons6313 4 года назад

Do you have any videos of installing the mortar and tile over this??? I can't find a video anyplace but love your tips and tricks

@richardl3720 3 года назад

Great how-to, very informative. Didn't realize there was an option to move the wire further apart to make it a warming system rather than a heating system. Most systems I've see tell you to space the wire 3" apart and 3" ro 6" away from the wall or fixures. Question 1: I'm sure there's a limit but could the gap spacing between wire be reduced to say, 2.5" so that floor heats a bit more? Question 2: You ran the cable up against the tub....apparently that system allows you to do that? Thanks

@locomokko 4 года назад

Hi Jeff, this is a very cool heating/warming product. I was just about to give up on them but now I see this. My question here is, does this install on concrete flooring without underlayment the way it does here on wood? And if so, how do you run the wiring against concrete first? This is pretty cool.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 4 года назад

Hi Scott! The box comes with a glue gun stick that is designed to adhere the plastic track to concrete surfaces. You will need to purchase a decent heat gun like the dewalt model. works like magic! cheers!

@ferpinedo 4 года назад

Jeff, this is great video and my wife wants me to put this system ASAP, fi you know if this will work if I put ceramic floor over ceramic floor? Cheers

@mr.wizeguy8995 3 года назад

Probe is always best to install inside electric pipe because for sure it doesn't last as long that heating wire itself and then you can replace it no need to redo whole floor. Also hot glue gun works really well when you install heating wire on any surface you can glue it as much as you like and no need to worry that self lever is rising wire up on surface.

@jpgagnon6551 3 года назад

@charlesseawell6563 4 года назад

Hi Jeff. I'm finishing the basement with a full bath and planing to use the Dita heated floor system. I'm curious, if I add an exhaust fan with the heat built-in on a timer would this be too much?

@Believe231 4 года назад

Have a more general question of adding tiling to my bath and kitchen on the 2nd story level floor, it's slab house split foyer here in the U.S.A. My flooring is 3/4" tongue and groove on top of 2x8 Douglas fir joists spaced at 16 inches apart spanned out to around 12.5 to 13 feet. Do you know if this is adequate for adding ceramic tiling? Or is it a definite NO GO? Or can it be beefed up from above? Access to the floor joists is unavailable due to finished level below. Thanks for the videos worth their weight in gold!

@rizzotto139 3 года назад

Hypothetically speaking let’s say I was going to put a floating porcelain tile “quick tile” Or something similar what would you suggest when adding let’s say the heating system you’re using or Kerdi heat, Self leveling to seal it in or do you have a different suggestion or should I just stay away from it all together. On the tile that I have it says with any heat applications in a bathroom must use a wet application and I have no idea what that means on a floating tile. Thanks again I appreciate all the videos

My place is a ground floor unit and I love it , it’s nicer than it sounds. The building is an old brownstone.The problem is I live in Minneapolis and the floors are so cold it’s ridiculous.I am interested in putting in all new wood floors anyway, because there are currently different floors in every room. So, can i put it under hardwood? My place is 1100 square feet. or maybe laminate, depending on the look or whatever you think. I have a friend that is an electrician and another super good friend that is a general contractor that started in wood floors. I’d like to do some of it myself though. Please let me know what I should do next? I have a decent budget, it’s a priority if it’s not a dumb idea for some reason. Could you tell me what you think? I also want to built a proper wall. Any suggestion? Am I crazy to think I can do it myself?

Hi guys!! I know this is a bit dated. I found Flextherm, is that what you would still use for "Heating" a bathroom?? Cheers

great cable if you don't require a membrane. Cheers!

What have you primed your green board with there on the wall above the tub? And why is there a cut-out seam (caulked?) in it?

Mapei aqua defense. Another version of the redgaurd product that has been on the market a long time. It smells nicer. Cheers! For that info you need to watch the last video on how to build a shower niche. Cheers!

Wanted to verify since it did not look blue in this video. I guess I'm confused about where you decide to use which type of backing on shower/tub walls. (Not a discussion for a floor heat video.) But any shower I put in from now on will be with a Wedi/Schluter type product or entirely out of sheet PVC. No moisture leaks!
