    I have always tiled walls first then floor last, even in wet rooms, to save working all over the floor and risking damage, I see a few photos of people doing it the other way round, the final finish shouldn't look any different really, why risk tiling floor first?

    I have installed underfloor heating on the first floor of my property . 15 loops that drop down a wall on the ground floor. As all of the loops drop down the wall can a manifold be installed on the wall upside down, or may this cause possible air locks. Is it best to extend a 12 port manifold to...

    Hi Everyone, First time I've tried tiling and I'm having problems getting the tiles to stay up.
