We've put electric UFH down in a few domestic garages - usually to keep the Porche warm!

I've had a bit of a think about this and I'm confident it's possible. There isn't essentially going to be any point loading as it'll be spread over a 600x600mm (0.36 m2) tile. Now, marmox say their boards can cope with 40 tonnes per m2 so with a tile + https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ ontop you'd have to have an immense amount of weight to get any compression. Even a 3000kg van is only 750kg at each corner which is well within the capabilities of the products and each tyre has a contact patch of around 200x200mm so, not exactly a stiletto!
It is maybe worth doing a test beforehand but, a 20mm board, then an S1 https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ (tilemaster setaflex) or if you really want the belt and braces approach an S2 (tilemaster ultimate), then a grade 4/5 porcelain tile, would be my choice.
Thanks Bri - that really helps. Will start insulation and drywall in a month or so, so tile is still a little way off, which gives me time to experiment.

Make sure you flat the back of each tile also to fill any frogs. Or undulations in tile this'll help strengthen the tile and relate a solid bed

Hello, any update on this or updated advice? I'm investigating a similar project. My garage floor (attached to the house) could do with coming up an inch or two anyway because of my slightly downhill driveway, so it makes sense to me to try and add a little insulation if possible before tile.
