anyone know who is doing the best deals on electric under floor heating mats at the moment ?

Doing our bathroom over. Just finishing off putting backer board up and thinking about the tanking and actual tiling. Suddenly had a mini panic attack that I am not mixing up the adhesive enough. Mixing by hand, I never seemed to be doing it in large enough amounts that a paddle worked for me...

This isnt actually a tile question but its about a wet room I installed few weeks ago. I have a small toilet room underneath my wetvroom and there's a light pendant very near my drain in the tray. Now I know that this shouldn't leak but I'm looking at worst case as in if it ever does and...

Just thought that I should stir up the northern folks after their winter hibernation with an article that has resulted in many a comment. Pity that I cannot post the article - your programme greys out the desktop file. Anyone with suggestions on how to get around this.

Having trawled through the internet i have stumbled across this forum and was wondering if anyone could help the dilemma we are currently facing. We have recently purchased an old victorian terrace which is in dire needs of repair and restoration. When we took up the carpet and lino in the...

Hi Forum, I'm 75% through tiling my kitchen with 600mm x 600mm tiles. So far - so good. My question is, how far up to the door do I lay the tiles? The door opens inwards into the kitchen, and on the other side will be laminate wooden floor. Does the threshold go directly in the middle under...

Hi all, can you tell me if grout should ever be used UNDER floor tiles? Our bathroom fitter has dot and dabbed with adhesive but used only a few blobs so much so a couple of tiles have lifted under foot in a see saw action. He assures us that by pushing in a watered down grout they will be fine...

This is just a general question? Not a job I will be doing, as it is too far away from me, but I am just picking at your brains. Barn conversion, done in the 80's, concrete slab over god knows insulation?? 30x20 (ish) batons laid on floor (not sure if fixed or loose laid) then tongue/groove...

Good afternoon. Just a quick question regarding the use of ditra Matt on fresh screed with underfloor heating. What is the general feeling with regards to this, would you be using ditra matting on fresh screed with under floor in the screed. The tiles will either be porcelain or ceramic. Many...

Good morning I'm after a bit of advise if possible please. Went to see a job, newly built conservatory about 30m2 floor area. The customer was going to have wet UFH built into the screed initially but has since decided against this for one reason or another. She does however want electric...

Good Afternoon Everyone, other than it being a waste of tiles and money, it there a technical reason why a quadrant shower tray- or any other size tray- should not be fixed to a completely tiled floor ? I have always had the tray fitted and tiled around it but have been asked the question and...

Hi, I have some large format (50cm x 50cm) travertine tiles being laid next week and I've just laid the floor in preparation (Bathroom). I've removed all the old floorboards as they appear to have been badly damaged during previous installs and replaced with new 22mm chipboard and then added...

Good morning. I'm after a little advice if possible please. I've read some other threads regarding the commissioning of under floor heating.
