No More Ply, Or Insulation Boards? - Tile Advice

[Tile Shop]

We do the thermogroup econoboard and never had any complaints or failures. Way cheaper than some of the coated versions like the marmox above. but laid with a solid bed and 5-6mm of SLC, once tiled will be more than tough enough,

My preference will always be coated boards though. Board wise for UFH I'd always go for insulation over cement based boards.

confused, are we talking foam boards (ie uncoated) ?

Think that would be my fault.... misinterpreted the original post.

Can't fail with insulation boards + SLC + Adhesive + Tiles = job done

Not sure if they were supposed to be coated or un coated. It's having no more ply. I'm confident in that stuff. I don't think running costs are a concern to this customer!

Next time the situation arises, I will try the coated foam boards.

It seems that no more ply has good insulating properties, I never knew that. Ever day's a school day on the forum!

Nomoreply now do insulation boards in various thicknesses. That's the way to go

Turns out they have warm up thermo boards after all!

Problem solved. I was a wary about using them the first time but they are definitely what you want for that job

Any need to prime up the boards on either side?

 

[hmtiling]

I'd just prime the floor and the top of boards when fixed. The ufh will stick much better to primed boards

and don't spot-fix!

Got a good load down today, I would never spot fix any flooring!
