Initially after reading many posts on here I was going to get a DeWalt d24000 but I can't justify the cost as I'm not a tiler plus the missus would probably use it on me if she found out the cost...

    New DIY geek needs underfloor heating

    Really enjoy DIY. So much so that I am finding new things to do even if they don't need it. Joined this forum to see if I could discuss how to make my own underfloor heating for laminate flooring or if I buy a mat, 500mm X 600mm.
