Polypipe (Fixed Overlay) UFH

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Hi guys thought I'd get involved in this debate. I've not posted on here for a few years. I've tiled over polypipe several times now in the last two years and I questioned it durability because at first it seemed like a floored product in the way of it being
A, a floating floor
B, the fact you where tiling straight onto plastic heat pipes that are routed to within 5mm of the bass of the boards.
None of it seemed right but I've always gone with 6mm Hardie overlay then Ditra over that regardless of the tile be it porcelain of natural.

Evening guys and girls,

Neen out in the van this evening, away with my thoughts and was pondering over a job I have coming up in 4-6 weeks time.

It's a bungalow that will have the UFH mentioned in the title over-layed on all floors. To be tiled in 600x400 honed and filled travertine.

Here's a link to the UFH system:
