        "text": "Yes, radiant floor heating systems must be laid directly onto the prepared subfloor before the tile is set in mortar. Electric heating mats or cables are secured, embedded in self-leveling underlayment or thin-set, and wired to a wall-mounted thermostat. Adding heating slightly raises the floor elevation, which requires careful planning around baseboards, door clearance, and toilet flanges. Once embedded, porcelain and ceramic tiles conduct and retain the warmth efficiently.",
