Has anyone used the new 6mm Ultralight Board from warmup. Any opinion, experience with it? Is it worth it. Looking to install it on a Concrete Kitchen floor under El. UFH and porcelain tiles?

I haven't used this yet !! But just read the product description , bit worrying that they describe it as a decoupling membrane , and follow this by saying if screed cracks ,the tiles won't,a decoupling membrane does not stop floors cracking if there is movement upwards or downwards , it just prevents shrinkage and swelling laterally , also they describe it as a great way of cutting costs of running electric underfloor heating!! It would take a few years to gain back just the extra cost of buying these sheets as opposed to the current systems

Lay UFH Cables, then SLC and then tile. Why would I need decoupling membrane?
Ultralite Board should do the decoupling from the substrate - concrete.

So what stops the movement from the underfloor heating into the tiles above the cables ??? As they heat up and cool down ?? Think about it ??
