I can’t think of anything worse than getting out of bed in the morning and needing to step on an ice cold floor. I spend most of my night snuggled up next to my husband. I am warm and cozy, but getting out of bed and being jolted awake with cold feet, is just plain rude. I know that some of it is our fault because we don’t like carpeting. We have laminated floors throughout our home. I did add a couple of throw rugs to make it look more homey. I just like being able to scrub every floor, and that it is cleaner than dusty rugs. The only thing I could think to do was invest in radiant heated flooring. I wouldn’t have to feel like I had ice cubes for toes. No matter what kind of sock or slipper I buy, they just aren’t like going barefoot. We talked to the HVAC company about having radiant heating installed in the bedrooms and bathrooms. When we found out that we would have to have all of the flooring removed, we were devastated. We had just laid the flooring less than two years ago. We’ve decided that we will need to just wear our slippers or heavy socks when we walk on the floors. It will be quite a while until we decide that we should pull out the flooring and put in radiant heating. We are now telling all our friends about radiant heated flooring. Even if I can’t have radiant heated flooring, I can at least enjoy it in my friends’ homes.
