Hello,

I have got the boarding down it is wedi board which had been stuck down with https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and screwed down also with extra metal washers.

Someone has now told me it is not a good idea to put an Electrical Heating Mat over it beacuse of the metal screwes and washers.

Can I just take them out? Help

It will then be screeded and tiled.

Thanks,

Sam

I always use the washers with Wedi type boards.
Stick the electric mat down securely and then cover thoroughly with a fibre enhanced or latex based self levelling compound. You shouldn’t experience any issues as the wires will be fully encased and therefore unable to move or become damaged.
