What's done is done! Follow the advice given and see how you get on. I've seen far worse mistakes made and no issues so you may be lucky. The solid floor gos in your favour

You don't have to use a flexible c2ft or S1 with ufh , quite a few rapid sets are polymer modified and are suitable for heated (none timber) floors...

So check the spec on the adhesive before you panic.

It says c1ft on the package. Nothing about polymers etc....

Had a look on google can't find any more info.

What is the name of the adhesive , I know it's unibond but what does it say on the bag ?

Hello,

I have mistakenly used non-flexible Unibond rapid set floor and wall tile adhesive on my underfloor heating project downstairs in my living room.

I put down tile backer/insulation boards on a concrete base then I laid about 5mm of wickes self levelling compound that is suitable for underfloor heating. On top of this I then used the unibond stuff, which was wrong.

I am a little worried that it's going to go wrong and was wondering what the chances are of it mucking up?

I don't fancy doing it all again to be honest and the tiles seem to be stable so far although they have only been fitted for 4-5 days.

I have seen after googling that it can be real nightmare.

Thanks for any input

what type of tiles did you lay ceramic or porcelain or stone?
