Hi Everyone
I really would like some advice on installing limestone tiles on my kitchen floor.
After doing some research (i.e. google and talking to a few tilers) the order of install seems to be: ply, UFH, levelling compound/adhesive, white tile adhesive, limestone tile. Is this the right way...

Wife and kids dont know what to get me for Xmas and it’s my Birthday on Hogmanay so I’ve been hinting!! I’ve been contacted 6 times this year by insurance companies go have a look at failed UFH installs and do paid reports and quote. So I could justify it if continues next year?

Hi,
the company that installed my UFH omitted to commission it. I found out about this step after tiling was done.
I want to take all measures in order to prevent any cracking/lifting, please offer me some advice.
Details of my setup:

- around 20 sqm...
Hi,
Advice required please...
I had a porcelain tile to kitchen, dining and utility area. A boiler leak meant tiles started lifting and the drying company requested utility area tiles to be removed to aid drying of the screed. Replacement tiles could not found so the whole area has now been...
Ufh are very quick to blame the tiler for ufh wires burning out due to tenting when sticking down wires with tape but what about this.you may have to enlarge it to see the gap . But my taping is always 100 percent better than that .

We are due to start tiling over the Terra Therma Wood 22 UFH heating system. What concerns me is the reflective plates that sit in the routed timber floor boards, they seem to be loose laid..... do you latex over them first or can you use a decoupling membrane direct on to the substate...
Just finished job off where I've had to install UFH mat as well as latex before and after. Normally I charge a nominal fee if it's a small bathroom. But this was a kitchen floor so I want to get a idea what people would charge say per square metre for installation of Devi and latexing. Many...
Porcelain floor tiles to go down. Existing floor is floorboards on joists.
Was going to put 18mil wbp ply. But seems 6mm No More Ply is a better option (please correct if im wrong). Also seen premat mentioned. Much the same, or is one better than other.
Then because of the heating, i wanted to...
Hi all,
I have recently had JK Underfloor heating route out my existing screed floor with a 15mm groove to take the underfloor heating pipe. They have done a great job but my tiler is worried about sticking the ditra matting straight over the top without latexing it first to take up any small...
I’m putting in an open plan extension (kitchen, sitting, dining). The extension will be L shaped, but the floor area is about 60 metres square (ceilings are 2800 mm).
My question is whether it is sensible to have wet UFH in the kitchen and dining area (40 metres square) and no UFH in sitting...
Hi, thread over the UFH section, it's sort of moved onto prep.
Cementainous screed with some cracks. Plan to deal with as below:
1. Sand/hoover/seal? Is the seal bit needed?
2. Fill any cracks I can with Resincoat Epoxy Crack Repair Filler.
3. Kerakoll Idrobuild Tex as uncoupling membrane
4...
