do any other tilers do this

[Mattash99]

Evening all

More a watcher than a poster, but, I priced a job up for 37 metres on the electric matting, which include slc and schlutter, but was told today that the tile supplier can get a tiler that will tile straight on to the wires and without schlutter!! Can't believe anyone would do this over such a big area, wouldn't do it over a metre let alone 37 of large format porcelain

What's the substrate?

What is the substrate ?

 

[hmtiling]

If there's thermal boards and a solid floor, then i'd have no qualms about tiling straight on it

 

[Mattash99]

Part ply part existing screed

two mat zones and expansion joint between them, make sure no movement in ply part and I probably wouldn't ditra

I always use slc over underfloor heating because it easier to do .

To be honest, both. Thought there was a certain tolerance of slc that had to be over the wires

I too always slc over ufh cables on insulation board and wouldn't normally uncouple if fixing porcelain.
