Heated bathroom floors in Vancouver
Electric in-floor heating beneath your tile, controlled by a programmable thermostat, for warm floors on cold mornings.
Comfort you notice every day
Tile is the right floor for a bathroom, but it is cold underfoot. Electric in-floor heating solves that with a thin heating cable or mat installed beneath the tile, adding gentle warmth without changing how the floor looks.
QUAY Construction installs heated bathroom floors across Vancouver as part of bathroom renovations, when the floor is already being replaced.
Back to Bathroom Renovations VancouverWhat goes into a heated floor
Heated floors are installed when the floor is being retiled, so they are best planned at the start.
Heating cable or mat
A thin electric element laid over the subfloor.
Embedded in the floor
Covered with levelling compound or thinset, then tiled.
Floor sensor
A sensor in the floor reports temperature to the thermostat.
Dedicated circuit
Electrical supply sized for the system.
Programmable control
Warm floors when you want them, off when you do not.
Heated shower floors
Heating can extend into the shower and bench with a suitable system.
Heat where you actually stand
Heating is laid in the open floor area, not under the vanity, toilet or tub. Planning the layout around fixtures puts the warmth where it is useful.
The system is tested before and after tiling.
Heated floor thermostat installation and controls.
The thermostat is what makes a heated floor efficient.
Heated floor thermostat installation includes a floor sensor and a wall control placed where it is easy to reach. Programmable and Wi-Fi models let the floor warm up before you wake and switch off when the room is not in use.
- Programmable thermostats: schedules for mornings and evenings
- Wi-Fi models: control from your phone
- Floor sensors: accurate temperature at the tile surface
- Replacement thermostats: upgrading the control on an existing compatible system

Bathroom renovation cost in Vancouver is driven by scope, not square footage.
Cost depends on the heated area, the system chosen and the electrical work required. We define the scope with you and provide a fixed-price proposal before construction begins.
Rather than quoting a generic square-foot price, we define the actual scope and provide a fixed-price proposal before construction begins. For typical ranges by room, see our renovation cost guides.
Heated floor questions answered
Can heated floors go under any tile? +
Electric systems are designed for use under porcelain, ceramic and stone tile.
Can heated floors be added without replacing the floor? +
No. The heating element sits beneath the tile, so it is installed when the floor is replaced.
Are heated floors expensive to run? +
A bathroom is a small area, and a programmable thermostat limits use to the times you need it.
Do heated floors need a special circuit? +
They need an appropriate electrical supply, which is assessed during planning.
Can my heated floor thermostat be replaced? +
Often yes, if the new thermostat is compatible with the existing system and sensor.
Do you renovate older and character homes? +
Yes. We check older homes for outdated wiring, old plumbing and hazardous materials. That way, these issues are part of the plan instead of a surprise mid-project.
Does QUAY Construction provide a warranty? +
Yes. QUAY Construction provides a 365-day workmanship warranty following completion of the renovation.
