At Modern Design Construction, we specialize in heated tile floors and waterproof tile installations designed to enhance comfort, safety, and longevity. Whether you want cozy radiant heated flooring in your bathroom or durable waterproof tile solutions in your kitchen or laundry room, our team ensures every project delivers both beauty and function.

Our waterproof tile installations protect your home against moisture damage while providing a sleek, modern finish. Combined with heated tile floor installation, you get the perfect blend of warmth and resilience – a smart upgrade for cold, damp spaces common in the Greater Seattle Area.

We carefully select the best waterproof tile materials that suit your space, ensuring optimal performance and ease of maintenance. From underfloor heating systems to moisture barriers and grout sealing, our experienced installers handle every detail to keep your floors comfortable and protected for years to come.

Every home is unique, so we take the time to assess your environment and recommend tile materials that complement your lifestyle and design preferences. Whether you prefer natural stone’s organic look or the sleek durability of porcelain, we tailor solutions that meet your aesthetic and functional needs.

Our team stays up-to-date with the latest innovations in tile technology and installation methods. This ensures you benefit from cutting-edge products like flexible waterproof membranes and energy-efficient heating systems, designed to last and perform optimally.

We offer practical advice on maintaining heated and waterproof tile systems to extend their life and preserve their appearance.

Using waterproof membranes like Schluter-KERDI, we create a vapor-tight barrier that prevents moisture damage. Penetrating sealers keep grout lines protected while allowing tiles to breathe, minimizing cracking and discoloration. Heated floors feature low-voltage mats or hydronic tubing with programmable thermostats for efficient, precise temperature control.

Adding heated tile to your home is a luxurious upgrade that also improves your day-to-day comfort. Our radiant heated flooring solutions are fully integrated with your tile work, installed with precision to ensure even warmth and maximum energy efficiency.

We install state-of-the-art tile underfloor heating systems compatible with a variety of tile types – ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Our team customizes each project to meet your needs, whether it’s a small bathroom upgrade or a full home renovation. The result? Warm floors that transform your space into a cozy retreat, especially during chilly Northwest winters.

Installation includes careful wiring or piping placement beneath the tile surface to avoid damage and ensure consistent heat distribution. Our technicians test each system thoroughly before project completion to guarantee reliable operation from day one.

In addition to warmth, heated tile floors can help reduce allergens by minimizing dust circulation that occurs with forced-air heating systems. This contributes to healthier indoor air quality for your family.

We also provide guidance on thermostat installation and use, enabling you to control your heated floors efficiently and save energy without compromising comfort.

Our electric heating systems use thin, flexible heating mats or cables that can be embedded directly into a thin-set mortar layer beneath the tile, maintaining the floor’s original height and structural integrity. For hydronic systems, we install durable PEX tubing connected to a boiler or water heater, circulating warm water under the floor. We always perform a thermal load calculation to size the system appropriately for your room’s square footage and insulation properties, ensuring optimal performance without energy waste. All electrical components meet NEC safety standards, and our installers are certified to guarantee safe, code-compliant installation.

Why Waterproof Tile Matters

Why Waterproof Tile Matters

Modern Design Construction work example

Waterproof tile is a must-have for spaces exposed to moisture. We install waterproof tile and effective sealing solutions that prevent water infiltration, protect subfloors, and reduce the risk of mold and mildew. Our waterproof tile installations maintain a flawless look without sacrificing durability.

Whether you’re renovating a shower, laundry room, or mudroom, our team applies best practices to ensure your tile stays beautiful and secure. We combine quality waterproof materials with expert craftsmanship, giving you peace of mind and long-term performance.

Water damage can cause costly repairs and health hazards. That’s why we prioritize waterproofing measures that meet or exceed local building codes, helping safeguard your home’s structural integrity.

We also specialize in installing waterproof membranes under tile surfaces to create a reliable moisture barrier. This invisible layer plays a crucial role in preventing leaks and prolonging the lifespan of your floors and walls.

Our attention to detail extends to grout and sealants, which we select and apply meticulously to enhance water resistance without compromising your tile’s appearance.

We implement industry-recognized waterproofing methods, such as integrating liquid-applied membranes or sheet membranes that comply with ANSI A118.10 standards for waterproofing under tile installations. These membranes are applied continuously over the substrate before tile setting to create an impervious barrier. We use epoxy or urethane-based grout sealers that penetrate deeply to create long-lasting water resistance and resist staining. For joints and corners, we apply flexible waterproof caulks to accommodate slight movements, preventing cracks and leaks. All materials are chosen to ensure compatibility with your tile and subfloor type, maximizing durability and protection.
