Joint tapes for insultion boards in bathroom - TilersForums.com

[RickyLee53]

Hello,

I am putting underfloor heating in my bathroom, we have a large bath, shower and kids, so I fully expect the floor to be like a swimming pool daily.

I have got 10mm concrete backed overboards. (similar to marmox) I plan to screw them down to the existing timber floor. Seal the gaps with a suitable tape, lay cables, SLC then tile.

However the tape seems to be crazy money. £150 approx to do the room. Am I missing something? Whats the best tape/supplier to use?

How big is the area and/or how many linear metres do you need?

Hello,

The area is 11sq meters. Its hard to guess as it depends how the boards are laid. I'd imagine around 30 linear meters.
