Hi guys and gals.
This might be in the wrong forum area so I do apologise. It’s also my first post so please be gentle.
I need some advice on advised installation steps for UFH. So I’m currently having a large dining, kitchen, living area renovated. We have an electrician install Prowarm matts. They are not let laid, and this is where my issue arises.
The system is being fitted on a concrete subfloor and we have limited space between the floor and the bi fold doors that have been fitted. It should all fit but the adhesives might push us over.
The proposed set up should be as followed, (as it would be laid)
4) Porceline tile.

3) Ditra Matting.

2) Prowarm Matting

1) Insulation board.
Flex https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/
PVA
Concrete subfloor.
From looking at the guides online it’s suggested Flex https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ is needed between each layer.
The question is then, is this actually needed ?
We have roughly 70 square metres to cover, so
A) the cost is gonna add up massively with 4 layers of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/
B) that amount of laying will potentially raise us 10mm - 12mm higher than anticipated.
Is there a way to avoid this, ie is there any layers of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ we can avoid? Or is it unavoidable.
Thankyou.
Chris
