Installing Heating Elements

Once the subfloor is ready, the installation of heating elements begins. For electric systems, heating cables or mats will be laid out in a specific pattern according to your bathroom layout. For hydronic systems, tubes will be installed to circulate warm water. This step requires precision to ensure even heat distribution across the floor.
