Hi as a newby I was wondering if tile levelling systems where any good? I've got a fairly large conservatory floor to tile & wondered if they would save me any time.
The UK’s first fully functional underfloor heating showroom has opened to the public. It displays a number of heating systems complete with tiles fixed using Ultra Tile and Ultra Floor materials.

Hope someone can help. I'm having my kitchen refurbished and want to install UFH. The current floor looks as though it is tile on tile as, at the hall door threshold, it sits the thickness of a tile plus adhesive proud of the hall flooring. I also suspect that the concrete floor substrate is not...

This may sound controversial. These systems remove a lot of the skill from our trade, anyone can use them in guessing and Prob get great results. Where does that leave the true craftsmen in our trade?? This really is the great leveller (unhappy face)

Anybody used the riamonde levelling system,I have used the lash clip ones but it hurts your fingers after a while,thinking of going the painless way,or do I stick to doing it without either to keep the cost down as you can spend £30/£60 a standard size bathroom,for the clips

hi all.........
i know the correct procedure is ufh under ditra matting, but there are tilers out there who prefer installing the other way round, ufh over ditra. Would there not be a risk of the ufh melting the ditra. lets say the control box or probe is faulty or hasn't been installed...

Hi everyone,
I've gone to see a job where the customer wants to use Schluter Ditra matting along with Warm Up UFH matting. The substrate is 18mm marine ply which is good news. What is the correct method for installing the ditra with the UFH and does ditra matting act as an insulation barrier...
