Bal pourable one for floors

Hi guys, anyone tiled over this product? It’s polystyrene grooved product that heating pipes run through over laid with a metal fibred strong board. New product to me and would like any advice or procedures req prior to tiling. Can’t seem to find any info on it.

Karl Dahm is my choice with triple rollers

I'd agree with above, providing you have spare tiles!

All hollow or just one or two?

I have a tx 700 and have found it excellent but am another of those that have always stuck with rubi. If I was to buy something new I would try to borrow a sigma off a rep as you suggested.
