Hi All,
Anyone know of any other ways to tile over Electircal Underfloor Heating except latex over it? I have seen Schluter Ditra Matting have made deeper notches to fit the wire in but it is probably more expensive?

I am really going to push it this (tax)year and would like your opinions on the vast amount of manufacturers and vendors that are out there.

I Want black quarz tiles and have found they are not suitable for use with under floor heating. Would the same issues occur with under cupboard heaters. I am not having kick boards so would need some sort of suspended heaters, any suggestions?
