SLC over a large floor prior to tiling

new floor screeded to same height as kitchen. All areas will be covered with durabase and an additional 6mm insulation over the kitchen. So the only difference in height will be the insulation and the adhesive for it - some of which will be compensated for in the new room by the high points.

Hence our guesstimate of an average of 8mm over whole area.

6mm insulation boards plus adhesive plus ufh cables plus an encapsulating slc over wires adds up to a lot more than 8mm..

You'll have the 6mm plus the 5mm of latex needed to encapsulate the heating element.
I'd speak with Dural but a thin or void free decoupler might be the best way to go with 6mm thick/thin tiles

I did say an 'average' of 8mm. The UFH cables, as you know, sit inside the dural, not proud of it.

It is a big job, we've no illusions about that - there's another 35m2 of hall etc tiles once the new/kitchen bit is done.
