My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Heating cables...will insulated tile warming wire work too?

15 years ago

Heating cables seem to be just about impossible to obtain anymore. Does anyone know if the insulated wire now being sold to install to warm tiles in showers might also work if paired with a thermostat? (Any tile installers who are gardeners as well out there?)

I've tried heat mats but these seem to burn out after a year.
