Hi All,
I'm after some advice regarding the preparation of the subfloor for a travertine installation.
I have just finished an extension which has a concrete subfloor with wet underfloor heating and 80mm screed on top of insulation. The existing property is supended wooden floor. I want to lay travetine throughout and had planned on putting 18mm plywood over the whole floor to cover the transition and strengthen the suspended floor etc.
I have concerns that the underfloor heating may not work as efficiently if I lay ply over the top of it, and wondered if it would be best to ply over the suspended floor and then use a self leveling screed or something over the existing screed to get the levels the same (make up the 18mm)?
The concrete screed has been down since the summer and I have checked it's moisture content with a meter.
Regards,
