Can you stick Porcelain Tiles over Heated Water Pipes?

[SamB]

Hi,

I have no idea if this is acceptable or
not but I have just realised when touching
the floor of the bathroom it does feel
warm in places so I assume there must be hot
water pipes running quite close beneath
the flooring. There is a hot towel rail in
the bathroom which is always on night and
day (this cannot be turned off) so again
I assume the underfloor pipes are leading to this.

Could this heat be an issue with porcelain tiles,
and would I need a special type of adhesive?

Best regards,
SamB

Timber or screed substrate?

Just use a flexible adhesive and grout.....should be fine...
