Hi
I have a clients floor I laid in December 2013 that has tiles coming away from the adhesive.

I have been asked to replace a solid oak floor with a limestone or travertine tile. The area is about 70sqm and has been flooded in the recent weather. The substrate below is 4 x 2" timbers every 600mm with screed in between. In this screed there is a wet under floor heating system. The old oak...
I have a extension that is approx 20m2. The floor will be suspended timber, with wet UFH fitted below. Joists are at 400mm centres, and span about 2.6m
I was going to fit 18/22mm chipboard over. I am reluctant to over ply, as it will reduce heat transmission from the boards, and I have very...

Bit unusual one. I am trying to line the base of 4 chimney alcoves with timber panel prior to plastering. The end effect being a plastered alcove with a timber 'floor' protruding from the wall like a windowboard. My question is what to use to fix the timber panel down - the substrate is...
when quoting or starting a job how would you determine weather or not the timber floor needs more strength? is it the cup of water and good old bounce around or is there a real method for this?
hi all, i have a job to look at for a customer who is getting conflicting advice from the ufh installers and the joiners
the ufh installers are putting in an inbetween joist system of some sort and are advising screwing 22mm ply to the joists as an overlay and tile direct
the joiners are...

Hi There.
Do we comission a wet ufh system floor that has a timber ply base like an anhydrite screed.
Bring up 5 degrees a day to maximum waterflow temp for 5 days then gradually back down.
Have done many anhydrites but first timber.
Many Thanks
Kevin
Looking for advise, I always use Heat Mat underfloor heating, and on timber floors fix onto 10mm Marmox either screwed or stuck and screwed, doing job for builder where I specified this, but architect has made
enquiries with Heat mat,and says they are happy to go straight onto timber with...

It is my intension to install a "between the joist" wet UFCH system with 18mm T&G ply 330mm porcelain floor tiles.
This is a ground floor and the sleeper walls are 1.2M apart.
I had planned to use 145mm joists which i believe are incredibly rigid over this span (deflection less than length/1000...
Hi Guys,
We have a bathroom with timber paneling, which has been painted with gloss paint. We are thinking of tiling over it and was wondering are we OK to tile over it as it is, should we remove the paint or should we cover it in something first? The paneling is softwood timber and not MDF or...

I'm planning to tile this over-bath shower with 250mm x 400mm tiles, I also have the Mapei tanking kit. I've no idea of the best approach to dealing with the timber batten in terms of tanking and tiling. Should the tiles be proud of the bath lip? Is it best to slope them down towards the bath...

I am new to the forum so please forgive me if I don't get it right. We are carrying out work on a property and have a situation where the floor to be tiled is half screed and half timber. The client wants underfloor heating (electric). My concern is that the timber floor will move and the screed...
