Hi all...
When installing UFH I've always used the sticky mats but the main frustration I have is that the mats are not that sticky. I've tried using SPF adhesive to stick the mat down but found this time consuming so I've always used Duck Tape to tape down the cut edges and loose cable when going round obstacles (toilets pedestals etc.) Even then I still find the cable can poke through the SLC. In these cases I use two off cuts of tile and using the edge balance them together to weigh down mat in the SLC then easily remove the off cut tile once the SLC is dry.
My problem is I have recently been contacted by a customer saying his mat has over heated and blown. The warranty has been declared void because the manufacture claimed the over heating was due to the Duck tape. So if this is the case, firstly I have to change the way I install UFH but secondly I wondered if anyone else had come across this problem?
