Floor tiling directly onto retrofit wet UFH overboard.

The screed contains water based UFH which has not yet been turned on...
After a long search on the internet I managed to source some really well made loose wire underfloor heating wire clips. These are in fact galvanised steel banding with clips built in. I had to import a whole load for a few ufh projects I have and they have been an absolute God send! I also...
Hi Guys, never used underfloor heating before but I'm doing one this week. Only 3 metre square, loose wire Prowarm on old but good condition floorboards.

Is it Hardiebacker as normal...
