What's everyone's preferred method of securing loose wire element to insulation board before slc?
obviously tape, but I think personally it covers too much floor. :thumbsup:

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...

Following some excellent advice from you in 2012, I successfully laid approximately 40 sq m of ceramic floor tiles in our new kitchen, garden room and granny flat. All was fine for a while, but then the tiles cracked across the opening between the garden room and kitchen, a distance...

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?
I am installing a new kitchen and utility room.
The total area to be tiled is approx 40 sq.mtr.
The existing floor was tiled, I have now removed these and got the adhesive up as well so am now down to the concrete slab as best as I'm going to get it (it is pretty good after spending hours...
