Hi,
I'm scratching m head knowing what to do for the best with this floor. I'm a self builder, and I didn't think that tiling the bathroom would turn into one of the most technical aspects of it :) I wanted to construct a wet room, we're using 12mm marble on top. The underfloor set up is 50mm...

Hi,
Is Mapei Ultracolour plus grout flexible enough for it to be used over underfloor heating? Or should I use a more fexible grout? I want a coloured grout and that is why I would like to use Mapei Ultracolour plus.
Thanks

What is your current preference of electric underfloor heating insulation?
And where do you buy from? (I appreciate price is probably trade price so don't mention it if it is please - this is in the public forums)
This forum area seems to be a bit quiet so I'm wondering if it has been a while since you guys installed electric underfloor heating? What's the score? When was the last time you've installed some?

Hi All.
Every time I install underfloor heating under tiles I have a problem with finding metal door bars to match the rest of the house because of the height difference which is usually about 30mm from top of tile to underside of carpet.
