ezewarm.co.uk for a proper balance between price and quality.
(There's loads of cheap rubbish out there though)

What kind of heat are you folks doing? Surely this is not something that goes to the lowest bidder?

I know but as you're here Don, I would imagu UFH where you are is quite a big thing?

Well where I am (insert smily) we have a lot of options on how we do heating systems. We have wire that gets covered with a leveling cement, we have wires attached to mats that get covered with thinset, we have wires that are imbeded in mats, we have mats that you put wires in... I am at a loss in the conversation, but I commented because it doesn't really matter which way yo do it, it is under the tiles you are fixing, so my thought on the matter is using the cheapest option is the worst option. If you are trying to find the best price on "x", then it would make it easier. ...along with the book I just wrote, quick little inquiry, does UFH mean under floor heat? I really don't know, but thought it did..

Yes UFH is as exactly as u thought.
And we employ all the above methods too.
I think in this paticular thread it has a lot to do with the OP (Garythetiler)
Because of who he is, members are able to skip many questions.
Regulars know that suggesting a system of inferior quality would bring the wrath of God upon them! Haha
Gary is one of our most highly regarded members and has an enormous knowledge base within our Proffesion.
So there is no requirement for the usual 3rd degree that others might receive after such a question.
(And he's a nice guy too!) haha
So I suppose a differently worded question from Gary may be,
"Who out of the top UFH specialists are offering the best deal at the moment"

Ile bookmark them. Just price checked them against local tile shop and they are a lot cheaper.

 

[Flintstone]

i am loyal to local shops, but it seems these days the better deals are to be had online

 

[hmtiling]

Price check the same stuff at Topps and it's laughable!
