Now that we have new flooring, I never want to wear my shoes inside the house.
And it’s not because I don’t want to get dirt on my new floors, either.
Nope, it’s because I love the warm and cozy feeling of my new floors on my bare feet. See, we just completed a major remodel on our house. We thought that since we were already doing a big remodel on the kitchen and the bathrooms, we might as well go ahead and change our old HVAC system out at the same time. We hadn’t been happy with our indoor air quality for quite some time, and we knew that our heating and cooling system was not quite up to par. And so we talked to our favorite HVAC technician about it. He was planning on coming and rerouting some of our ventilation ducts anyway because of the remodel. He told us about something called radiant heated flooring. He said that he thought this type of flooring would do well in our house and that we would probably love the way that the heating system worked. With radiant heated floors, heat is conducted through the surface of your floors instead of through forced air systems like our old heating and cooling unit. I have to say, I’m really glad that we listened to our HVAC technician. He was a hundred percent right about us loving the radiant heated flooring. These days, I never walk in my house with shoes on because I just love feeling the warm floors beneath my feet!
