UFH and non flexible SLC

[Peter]

Levelled a kitchen floor about 2 weeks ago and plan to start tiling it at the end of this week (pending on delivery of tiles). It was levelled using an ordinary one part leveller which I would be pretty sure is not flexible. Customer explained today that he would like electric UFH installed. Would this cause problems with the original SLC and what would be the best way out of the sitution if it would? Would it be possible to lay the UFH and apply a coat of flexible SLC with it or would this be a no no given the present condition of the floor? Cheers.

It should be fine, as long as the SLC you use to encapsulate the UFH is Flexible.

You may wish to prime the floor before hand.
