marking out under matting

[splinter65]

Hi Guys. I am laying a mat system of UFH and was wondering what is the best way to mark out the floor for tiling with the matting covering the floor. Also I have read you can tile straight onto the mat but this sounds a bit messy. If a SLC is recommended which is the best. I have a 9mm ply floor on top of floor boards and want to keep the height level to a minimum.

Mapei fibre plan is great for ufh over timber floors...but your choice of ply thickness does not meet BS..

Thanks Dave. What is Mapei fibre plan. Pity about the 9mm floor but it`s down now so I`ll have to hope it`s ok.

Thanks faithhealer. I think SLC is going to be the answer.

Do we have a supplier on the forum where I could order some of this?
