Electric Underfloor Heating Mat

[Flintstone]

Your best to use self levelling compound over the wires then lay the uncoupling once that's set. Heat is fine

 

[Flintstone]

Are you going to doing this job yourself? There is a thread called 'how best to tile a room' you might fancy having a read at that!

No I would not be doing this myself but I want to make sure this is done right and I would be buying all bits required apart from adhesive.

Any recommendations for this uncoupling mat ?

 

[Flintstone]

My advice would be have a talk with the tiler before buying anything and see what he says /recommends

 

[Alzak]

That would be a problem as installation would be done by my Dad who would be flying in here from continental Europe for 2 weeks, saying this we have different approach to underfloor heating as is mainly (99%) water based systems so that’s why I need help on products from you guys.

He fitted tiles on 100s of floors with underfloor heating but not on wires… and his knowledge on local products is limited as well.

Speak with @Lee@TileTown he's based in the midlands he'll put you right with UFH and antifracture mats, and any other materials you may need.

Yea thts what I meant haven't actually crumched the numbers but I think in terms of cost to customer, there would really be no massive price difference either way, but I think vairo would work a bit cheaper, if you include labour and materials over all

i agree, variopro would be more expensive, but when you weigh up the down time ect (your time) price doesnt work out that much more.
