    Whats everyone using to stick down Ditra or durabase onto Ply subtrate

    Just wanted to see what you guys are using to fix Durabase or Ditra to a ply subtrate. Interesting for me as I have switched across to using a vinyl acrylic adhesive as it is a more economical option. It seems I am always late to the party!

    Tiling over celotex without laying down a screed.

    What would you all recommend for a wetroom install over celotex insulation, other than a screed which is not possible due to height limitations? The Celotex is level and secure as the slab it sits on has been levelled and I was going to float WBP ply over it, then some 6mm Wedi or Marmox...

    How do you stick down your heatmats?

    I haven't done a heatmat in a while, until today. (mesh backed btw) Had a bit of a faff to get it to lie flat so I could slc over the top. In the end I knocked up some stiff addy and pressed it through the mesh with the flat, short edge of a trowel, in a few places first. How do you do yours?
