Beissel Renovation published an article, “Best Flooring Options for Radiant Heat in Kitchens and Bathrooms,” to guide homeowners through selecting flooring materials that pair well with underfloor heating. The article notes that while heated floors can transform kitchens and bathrooms into cozy, comfortable spaces, not all floor types are compatible — and some can even interfere with radiant heat systems.
With colder seasons on the horizon, radiant floor heating brings comfort and efficiency — but only when paired with flooring that supports heat distribution and moisture resistance. Flooring choices affect both performance and longevity. The guidance from Beissel Renovation helps homeowners make informed decisions early in their kitchen & bathroom remodeling planning — avoiding costly mistakes and enjoying consistent warmth underfoot for years to come.
What Homeowners Should Know Before Remodeling
When planning kitchen & bathroom remodeling that includes radiant heat, homeowners should look for flooring materials that conduct heat efficiently and stand up to moisture and temperature changes. According to the article, tile and stone floors are especially effective because they provide excellent heat conduction, retain warmth well, and resist water — making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
Engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and other moisture-resistant flooring options can also work, provided they are specified for radiant heat use. These materials tend to be more stable under temperature fluctuations and offer design flexibility.
Avoiding glued-down carpets and solid wood helps prevent warping, thermal resistance, or damage caused by moisture and heat.
