build

Hi, I am trying to achieve a low floor build up including wet UFH over a new suspended timber floor in our barn conversion. The area is large, 21m x 8m. Having spoken to various UFH suppliers I have come up with the following: 22mm chipboard subfloor (already laid) 25x25mm battens at 200mm...

If starting from joists, what subfloor would you use these days? 18mm Ply first and then a 6mm backer board layer? (correct thicknesses?). Plan is to tile floor with porcelain tile 20x20cm, electric heating mat under. Thanks.

Hello, First time posting. I'm helping a friend of a friend who recently had a basement shower installed, and unfortunately the contractor who did it was completely incompetent. The floor of the shower is tile, and there is no slope to the drain (in fact if anything, there is a hump drawing...
