Advice on tiling onto "overlay" underfloor heating - TilersForums.com

[Jonner]

Hi All
As mentioned previously thank so much for all the help provided here. We are going ahead with the Nu Heat low pro 10 approach. Once down we are going to be laying Limestone tiles of 22mm thickness.
Any further comments/advise is most welcome.
Best Wishes
Jon

My only (and fairly significant) comment is that the Nuheat low pro 10 system appears to be only suitable for dry lay flooring, not tiles.

With regards to your tile, I have a job in the pipeline with some 600x400 matt porcelain, which are a stone look tile and they are very realistic. I will try and get some photos if you like this week.

Thank ACT that would be great.

Hi Plan Tec
having looked at all of the Low Pro 10 data sheets and posted them on here last week i am surprised that you dont think it suitable for tiling. It says on the data sheet that tiles are fine, and having spoken to them direct they said tiling was "the best option". If you have had another experience then please let me know. Many thanks Jon

Hi @Jonner . I said it 'appears' to be only suitable for dry lay flooring based on this....

If you have the confidence and assurance by the company to tile to it, then that is good news. I haven't had the benefit of speaking to the company which you obviously have. Have you physically seen the product tiled?

Hi Plan Tec
Many thanks for the comments. You are right i have not actually seen tiles down in place i am going in word of mouth and previous installers comments. Which i guess is a risk.
Having spoken to Nu Heat and also a lot of feedback from the guys on here the gypsum based board system seems good for tiling.
Many thanks Jon

Hi @Jonner

Here’s the photo I promised of the stone effect porcelain, 600x400 rectified edge, matt finish.
