travertine (12mm) )on top Electric U/F heating

[Unregistered]

Hi I've forgotton my password sorry!

Just about to organise 145m2 of an old farmhouse in France to be ideally covered
in what they call a 'Classic medium Travertine' 12mm from Turkey.

The make of sub floor is 100mm concrete slab, 53mm insulation electric mats
covered with a 35 -40mm top screed French method. So although taking longer
to heat up the screed stays hotter for longer when switched off or turned down.

If putting Travertine on top will there a problem unless a deflecting membrane is
used or if matts set in 35mm screed the heat will be more even.

Appreciate any advise

Regards

Are you buying Trav from Turkey through France or UK ?
Best to make sure it is suitable for floors,some of the cheaper commercial grades are not,due to holes in back of tile & filling !
