This issue is repeated constantly on here, Dave myself and others spend ages on it...............

You have a room 5m2 with a wet room former in, it could be tuff2, Aquadec, Tilux, Showerdeck, Wedi, Pro4mer, Pro4ma it doesnt matter.

You put underfloor heating down over the entire floor then discover the former wasn't fitted level or you have a drainage problem.

At this point you have a tray former, tanking membrane, UFH, leveler, adhesive and tiles layered 1 on top of the other.

If you cut out the former which is the option you will loose the UFH for the whole room.

If you didn't put under floor heating over the former in a wet room then you are a much happier man trust me.

It is a call you have to make but imo its the correct one


Hope this explains it a little.........

First time I have done one of these guys so go easy on me :smash:
I did speak to both the UFH supplier and Impey and they assured me that the tray and UFH would be fine. I see where you are coming from Decs and with the benefit of hindsight would have probably done it different but it,s down now and it's staying put as I tiled most of it last night! so will just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best I suppose. Will let you know.
