[QUOTE="jonnyc, post: 611368"] [b]Re: how to best fix stone directly over water underfloor heating pipe[/b] well i spoke to adhesive manufacturers today and its a big no no all round. i think the only way out is to cut off the water underfloor heating, thereby gaining 20-25mm and then laying dukkaboard or similar on screed and do electrical heating. there is a chance this way of still being able to come in at a level that allows appliances to still come out. very expensive option but i am just not prepared to lay this stone floor over heat pipes directly underneath even if i can put in a disclaimer . the real problem is that another stone company did a small hallway by latexing to top of pipes and ditra and stone has not cracked , so client thinks there is little chance of kitchen /conservatory stone cracking. but this is a much bigger area and sometimes i think you have to just step back and say no even if the job is well worth doing. the agro and cost to dig this up if it does fail will be very big. you said no to a client deano little while back , i saw in a thread and sometimes you just know it could all end up in tears. other times i get asked to do work that is not strictly done by the book ie mixing sand/cement/adhesive for bedding old reclaimed stone of different thickness but i know that this method works and has never failed . i put a disclaimer in but can assure client it works and worth doing this way. so i may lose the job and have invited client to get other tilers in to quote to get a comparison as i always do anyway.
