Hi. Newby here. Looking for advice on UFH over cork tiles.
Just bought this house, previous owners have (6mm) cork tiles over laminate laid directly on concrete. I want to put electric UFH down, can I use it directly over the cork floor? Has anyone ever done E UFH directly on to cork flooring...

Hi guys have always over plyed chipboard flooring prior to tiling but what is the reason for this if chipboard was primed would it be ok.

Hi
Building an ensuite and have put 300 x 600 x 4.5 mm tiles in the shower cubicle. They look really good and am thinking of using then on the ensuite floor too. However my mate thinks their too thin for use on floors, despite the box saying they're made for walls and floors.
Anyone used this...

We have moved into our new house and I am about to put some floor tiles down. The house flooring is 22mm water resistant chipboard. I planned to put down 6mm no more ply rather than 18mm ply to keep the finished height of the floor down to as close to carpet level as possible. Thinking of the...
