Kitchen and Utility Floor Tiling - Pics

[EwanR]

After scouring this forum for hints, tips and asking a few questions of the professionals, I thought I'd post some pics of my efforts. One thing I've decided for sure; I am never... ever... laying 600x600 tiles again! Ever!!

Just for the record the tiles are from Messrs BnQ - I know.....! They actually come from Malasia not China.

I laid 6mm Ecoboard insulation using Ultra Proflex SP adhesive then laid the underfloor heating cable. I then poured the SLC to protect and reduce the amount of adhesive needed.

Then the tiles went down. I managed 8-10 a day. Once the utility was done I cut the sides of the central floor cabinet and slid it back in to allow replumbing. Mrs R had been without her washing machine for a week and it was a priority! Once in I was able to tile back into the kitchen.

Cabinet ends cut and replaced then the skirtings and kick boards.

I can't upload to the Gallery so pics are on my profile. Follow this link

Couple of bottles of Rioja in the rack!

Thanks for the positive comments guys, the result is almost worth nearly breaking my back. Thank goodness for Jacuzzi! The UFH works a treat too. Just enough to keep your feet warm.
