Lay the wife.....?
Not sure about this......
Are you planning to embed your poor wife.....
Sorry....just making fun.
Try a toe kick heater........it may be less costly and do the same........
They have many styles and types...

Sometimes spell check isn't enough.  <grin>

We do a lot of them, especially in basements.  Heat mats are
available from any good electrical supply house ... come in
varying sizes.  You don't have to slavishly cover every square inch.

Thin set over them.

I have found  the Coil wire is about $200 cheaper. Biggest problem is
nicking the wire smoothing out the thin set.
I found to use a Rubber grout or or a wood one..

Running electric heat is expensive, If you have a boiler consider just
having a pipe run under the area you stand at. If you go electric keep
area to a minimum. Electric baseboard is cheaper instal and likely
run.
