Hello, hoping somebody can help me out here as am now very confused with floor backing board options?!
We're building our own house and are finally at the point we're working out the floors etc. Want to tile our bathroom floor which will have wet water underfloor heating in it. Plan is to fix battens to the chipboard flooring, fit insulation between battens ( 400mm centres ) & then fit thermal spreader plates & heating pipes level to top of battens.
I then want to put something on top of the battens that is both firm enough for floor tiles and also non-insulating so the heat can get through to the tiles better. Everything out there as far as I can understand seems designed to be insulating and to go underneath the heating? Is there anything anybody can recommend or do I just stick with ply?
Any help would be great
Thanks,
Michelle.
