Hi, I am putting in a new kitchen floor and have looked at these tiles but have heard that there can be problems with the tiles "curling" up at the edges when used with electric under floor heating. I know that people like Topps Tiles and Silestone sell quartz tiles and explicity state their tiles can be used with UFH but has anybody used Starlight or know of any problems with them?

i have used starlight but not with under tile heating. i have laid the quarts tiles that have had problems and can understand why there is a problem with heating . i would not put heating and quarts tiles together ! is it worth the risk that just maybe later the tiles start to move. only time will tell if there is a problem with the starlight tile and others in that range..no matter what topps salesman say !
 
Q

Qwerty

I cannot speak from experience of using the Topps starlight tiles, but may be worth finding out who the manufacturer of the tiles are and contacting them directly. I have seen the resin bonded tiles (most of the starlight quartz tiles are) curl before, but the homeowner did whack the UFH up to near max most of the time.

Be mindful.......... Topps stating they are suitable for UFH means nothing at all in my opinion. There will always be a get out if & when the tiles did fail.

Let us know how you get on :thumbsup:
