Would you bother with 2 mats?

Great job on the levelling, how did he make the barriers just a trowel?

Just dump some sand/cement between the dots and press down with a wet straight edge, cut excess off sides and slide off. I learnt this technique off Phil Hobson on this forum. Best thing about it is you know it will be perfect and doing it in bays means you can take on any bad floor any size on your own. Even better than that is you're not rushing and stressing when you're doing it.

Are you a professional tiler ?

Cheeky bugger!

Had today free to finally get back to my mum and dads with the hope of tiling at some point next week.
Fitted the insulation boards and heat base mat.











Hopefully my sparky mate will be free to help me tomorrow so I can get the cable laid and SLC.
My Dad, being my Dad, doesn't want surface mounted cables like they did when he had the alarm fitted (I'm sure that install is illegal as the wire looks far too thin for the ring main) and he doesn't want the hassle of the other side of the wall chased - fair enough it's wall papered. Think the only way he'll be happy is if we have the spur, thermostat and fan/light switch in a row. So drilled a brick out in the hope that my sparky will be able to feed the cables through the cavity, do his thing and make it all work.

Got cable down this afternoon and slc'd.
Sparky had to disconnect alarm company's work as it was dangerous.

Looking good! What SLC did you use?

 

[macten]

Weber floor flex.

Great to see another happy customer converted to our HeatBase system! How did you find it to use? And what do you think to the quality of our cable?

Was really easy to use Jake and so much less faffing than cutting mesh and turning bits of mat. Suppose the only worry I had was 'what if there's too much cable? I'd be screwed' but I sent you a plan and you said 165m would be fine and it was. My sparky fits a lot of eUFH but he'd not seen this kit before and he was well impressed. I've passed on Uheats details to him. Do I need the final invoice for the warranty Jake? I've only got the delivery receipt and a revised quote.

Went round today to set out and familiarise myself with the tiles and pattern they wanted and I ended up dry laying the lot.
So just need a couple of days free to stick'em and grout.

Good to hear, as long as I have the warranty cards returned that'll be fine.
