I am fitting a new kitchen and want to also tile. As it is old its has a really cold concrete floor.
I have looked at all possible options for wet or elec UFH and insulation. Floating floor of 6mm hardi on 30mm celotex was almost tried until I read the forum some more. Wet UFH wont give me enough heat as its a 12.5m2 room and I can only get about 6-7m2 of UFH so really need 160Wm2 heating to supplement the radiator (currently there are two but im removing one)
So my plan is to simply lay 30mm marmox - Full bed adhesive it to the primed concrete floor (needs a bit of water based SLC in places to help avoid excessive adhesive), tape all joints with skrim, then lay down elec Matt (with supplement adhesive) then a 5-10mm layer of SLC before tiling with MAPEKER RAPID SET FLEX adhesive (300x600mm tiles) and polymer based mapei grout.
Have I missed anything, room is 2.5 x 5m. Any need for expansion gaps of the marmox?
Anything I should use for sticking the marmox to the floor.
Thanks all!
