Question
We are building a small cabin in the woods. We're installing electric radiant heat under the floor and need some tile recommendations.
We've been told by the builder that ceramic or porcelain tile is preferable, but the walls and ceiling are going to be all wood so we need something to complement them.
Answer
This is a very general question, so I am going to give you a very general answer.
Any material with thermal mass will work well in this application: tile, concrete, stone, or earth.
