Putting Electric Heating Mat Under Tiles

[shimlad]

Hello,

I have got the boarding down it is wedi board which had been stuck down with adhesive and screwed down also with extra metal washers.

Someone has now told me it is not a good idea to put an Electrical Heating Mat over it beacuse of the metal screwes and washers.

Can I just take them out? Help

It will then be screeded and tiled.

Thanks,

Sam

I always use the washers with Wedi type boards.
Stick the electric mat down securely and then cover thoroughly with a fibre enhanced or latex based self levelling compound. You shouldn’t experience any issues as the wires will be fully encased and therefore unable to move or become damaged.
