I haven’t but I would like to! Get some pics up and let us know how it goes.what do thermogroup say, Do they advertise it as suitable for walls? Are you taking the same wire from floor up the wall ?

Schluter did it first as far as I know!

Schluters entrance hall and the gents cloakroom all have ditra heat in them. If you do 2 pod spacing it gives a primary heat source of 200w

He did a good job, don't get me wrong.
But I notice a distinct absence of pictures of the prep work in that area!

The way I understand it, they had two options:
1) Get a restraining order on him
2) Give him a job

Had a quick look today but couldn't find in booklet where they said it was suitable
But customer told me she was sold it for this purpose so called vario pro (vp) who emailed me some fitting instructions for the wall .
You have to use separate cable for the wall as you are meant to keep vp cable 60 mm from the edge of surface be it a wall or floor and also they don't like the tight radius turn it would have to do between wall and floor .

Yes, but I shouldn't have.
I had WAY too much cable on a job (using Ditra Heat) and ran it onto a wall with spare matting.
I chased back into the wall to give a softer bend on the cable.
This was before I found out Schluter did it.
Not done any since...

Looking good. I am keen to do one, I have a job in the pipeline which I may try and incorporate. I saw on thermogroup Instagram page they had what looking like a regular mat version on a wall and they said it was for that purpose!

The membrane went up well and once you've done that your 3 parts there . Just got to figure how to turn the room on its side to latex it .
Sorry wasn't vary pro but another they sell. They like to experiment !

Heated walls, great for oneupmanship with the neighbours and friends!
Looked like bum height !

One of the benefits they try to push in a bathroom Andy is the lack of requirement for large imposing heated towel rails. With a heated wall you can hav just a slim towel rail tight to the wall and it does the same job.

Yeah I know marc, It is a good idea, I’m supprised it isn’t more popular, I’m supprised you haven’t done a few yourself too.
I bet the cost isn’t significantly more than a fancy towel rail either.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
