UFH Running cost difference with 6mm verses 10mm insulation board

[JimboD]

Yes, good point.

5. Use of cement faced board increases safe wattage that can be applied to a wooden floor.

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone know of a Marmox 6mm supplier in Hampshire/Surrey (nr Farnham)? I dont fancy the 150 mile trip over to Ipswich (sorry Keith) and need the boards this w/e

HTW (Hampshire Tile Warehouse AKA The tile source) used to do them but not sure if they moved over to Obrey boards now?

Does it have to be Marmox?

Funnily enough I did a google search and found a company by complete chance called The Tile Fix which had some in stock and are 15mins away and had a fair price. It turns out it's the same location as Tile Source. Not sure if it's one and the same but they seem to be aligned. Perhaps Source is the showroom side and Fix the materials side? Anyway, all sorted. Cheers!

well i think that some insulation is better than nothing and the thicker you can use the better.
i always use 12.5 mm contractor over timber substrate if i can.
but more importantly you need to think that an insulation board must be better than ditra mat over plywood which would let all heat through .
both ditra and dukkaboard or similar act as a separating membrane between tile and timber substrate.

Johnny - Are you suggesting that an insulation board does the uncoupling that Ditra does!

Yes I think so!
is this not true
