Hi All Snow day for me today so doing some research into a job thats coming up. It 30m2 with 12 m2 UFH. Till now I have always used pro warm backboards with UFH and a layer of SLC over the top but this seems to be going out of fashion and is rather costly. Been looking into UFH membranes and...

We are going to lay limestone, 15mm in the kitchen 40m2 on a concrete floor. What is the best way to do UFH? Initially we looked at using warmup sticky matts with 10mm insulation boards and then flex adhesive for the tiles . In reading this forum i understand there is still a risk of cracked...

Hello everyone. My builder is going to lay my electric UFH today and I want to check he’s doing it right. I’m having a wet room made, so the chipboard floor has been replaced with 18mm plywood and then ditra mat on top. The shower former is a Tough-X designed to rest directly on joists (The...

As above, can or should you put UFH in a shower tray. The plumber that I am working for has a customer who wants to run the UFH from the rest of the bathroom floor into the shower tray(and tile on top) I have done one before,many moons ago. But it still leaves me a little nervous,regarding the...

Evening folks I am about to tile a bathroom floor inc, Impey wetroom tray & UFH. The work up until now has been carried out by someone else and this is where its at. The floor at present is standard chipboard with the tray being approx 2-3mm proud. I need to run the loose lay cable UFH and...

hi, I’m close now to finishing of the tiling in my kitchen with porcelain tiles. I am looking for some advice on when it would be safe to be able to switch the ufh back on. I have used a Topps Tiles flexible rapid set adhesive but there is no guideline for when to switch the ufh back on after...

Dear Experts! Here's a homeowner looking for advice about a home renovation project. It's a mid-terrace property built in the 70's, located in southeast London. I'm planning to retrofit wet UFH to the whole ground floor and laying procelain / ceramic tiles on top. There are two rooms to be...

Hi, I’m struggling on finding enough info about porcelain tiles being laid straight on screed with ufh. The underfloor heating has currently been running for about 6-8 weeks at no more than 20 degrees. A few cracks have appeared over that time. I was hoping to now uni bond the floor and lay...

Hi All, I urgently need some advice and not sure where to turn. We are having some major renovations in our house which includes an large open area 15m x 10m which would include the kitchen, living and dining room. The whole house (apart from the loft conversion) would be fitted with a wet UFH...

Hi all :handwaving: I realise this is a tiling forum, but I'm guessing some of you lay wood too ;) Does this look right? Joists > 18mm/25mm ply > 6mm UFH insulation boards > electric UFH > SLC > engineered herringbone planks. Also, is there any requirement to stick the herringbone down, or...

I went to see a floor on Saturday. Roughly 12sqm of screed with wet UFH in a ground floor extension. The screed went down last week. The surface of the screed was very rough and I could scrape up parts of it into my hand (very sandy). I could see and feel spongy insulation, as some of it was...

Hi - Anyone know if its ok to use RLS over an electric, loose wire UFH system? It's covered with a thin (4mm) layer of SLC which just about covers the wire and keeps them in place for tiling. Will the plastic clips that remain in the adhesive be heated up as a result of the UFH and melt (or...

Good morning, Gents I'd really appreciate the advice of experienced members here. I've been doing a small barn conversion in Kent for myself for the past 7 years and it's still nowhere near complete. I think I probably have OCD and this is only getting worse. The footprint of the building is...

Apologies this is so long winded, but hopefully you're an understanding bunch & you'll stick with the novel and provide a straight opinion on this. I'm a competent DIY'er (ex-spark), but it's a while since I've done any DIY tiling at home. I'm now re-doing the kitchen floor/walls in a 1960’s...

have done plenty of UFH electric mats under tiles, & plenty wetrooms with tanking. However, I have never incorporated both.. Is tanking done under or over electric mat? Is it ok to bring UFH mat onto shower former? Cheers!
