Tiling floors can increase the value of your home, especially if they are used in the right rooms such as the bathroom or kitchen. Tiled floors are more durable and luxurious than carpets, and they are easier to clean up if you spill anything on them. Tiled floors have the disadvantage of being cold, especially if they are not paired with underfloor heating. They can also be slippery when wet. Tiles may not be the best option if you have a large space. This is especially true if your children love to run and could slip on them.

Underfloor heating is a great option for any type of wet room. If space is at a minimum, installing underfloor heating is often the best option, as you can extend your existing radiator system to add a new underfloor heating circuit. Alternatively, if your wet room is on the larger side, you can install additional new radiators or heated towel rails, as you may need an extra heating boost.
