Floating Floor?

[Daz]

I have been asked to quote for 70m2 porcelain with 'lectric UFH - haven't been to look at the job yet tho'.

Customer described the substrate as "insulation boards laid, then a wire mesh, then screed poured over".

Is this a floating floor? :furious3:

All abuse welcome....:ciappa:

It is classed as a floating floor but can be tiled no probs......they are called warma floors..i recommend flexi products when tiling these floors....and perimeter joints...

Thanks Dave,

What size perimeter joints do you recommend, 5mm or 10mm?
Is flexo a brand name or did you mean flexi?

Do I need insulation boards or will the floor be sufficiently thermo'ed to prime and stick UFH?

Cheers,

Typo yes...:santa_cheesy:...

The floor is insulated as it is but you will still have to heat the screed so insulation boards will keep the running costs down.....

5mm to 10 mm will be fine as long as the skirting covers it....

Also is there any perimeter joints in the screed..?

Probably not going to get a chance to look at it til the end of this week, but at least I know what to look for, now.

Cheers Dave! :santa_cheesy:
