UFH advice please

[flexy]

Hi All,

I'm doing up the the bathroom, and was offered a deal on Warmup Dual Wire Under Tile Heating. I've been reading some of the posts on this forum, and from what I understand, I'd need insulation boards too- is that right?! These were never mentioned at the time, and I'm in on a budget, as well as in a rush- work starts tomorrow- so I need to be clear what I need. I also need to try and get it very soon really.

I've just pulled up the carpet that's in there, and I have floorboards (it's on the second floor).

If anyone has the time, would it be at all possible for someone to let me know what I would need?! I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about here, so feel free to be as basic as you like :smilewinkgrin:

Many thanks guys

You need to see how solid these boards are.. you can use an insulation board 10mm min and then fix the ufh direct over this.. then a latex/fibre slc suitable for timber floors and tile away.

These boards are not cheap, so it could break your budget.. if it a route you require to go then let us know and we can link to where you can get some etc.

Many thanks Dave.

I should have explained, I'm not actually doing it myself! I hate to sound like a girl, but I am one, and I know when something's over my head!

Just wanted to make sure I had the right materials in if necessary, so that the guy doing the bathroom has everything he needs. I'm not sure ufh is worth it at the moment, it was a bit of a last minute thought anyway.

Thanks for your advice, helped me make a decision.
