    Hi Im going to be laying a UFH mat by Heat Mat, in their instructions it says to have at least 8mm of SLC above the wire. Should I do that or will just having wires completely covered be fine? Heat Mat | The Underfloor Heating Specialists cheers Sharon

    Slc, What's Your Preferred Brand?

    Just looking in to what everybody likes in the way of SLC for a standard concrete/screeded solid floor (no UFH) we have been using the sealocrete stuff from Selco, it's not bad but it's certainly not great - just what you could expect for about 12 quid a bag I suppose.
