Underfloor heating and then Tiling on top

[sWe]

should this only be used as part of a calorie controlled balanced diet?:grinningelf:
excellent advice from the upper echelons!

Well, you'd have to get some older SLC for the protein then, because this one is protein free!

(I'll be well impressed if you get that joke without scrolling down and reading the explanation )



















The protein "Casein", which makes up something like 80% of the protein content in milk, has been used as an additive in different kinds of mortar and adhesives for many many years, but it's becoming less and less common in the building materials industry because it's biological, and a target for bacteria and mold.

Has any of you guys heard of the following method?

Insulated screed
Depron Insulation
Haeting Element
Vapor Barrier
WPB Ply
Tiles

I don't like the sound of the ply over this and certainly not with tiles. This spec has been given to me and I'm not too comfortable fixing 18mm 600x300 Limestone slabs onto this.

I would have levelled the cables with slc and tiled from there

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts....deffo asking for a failure there....also how are they going to fix the ply over the heating element...?....and why a vapour barrier..?

These are my thoughts too but this spec is being recommended by what looks like a reputable company and before I start pulling shreds out of it, just wanted some second opinions.

 

[DHTiling]

My advice is to ask why they think that set up is needed and take it from there....offer what you think is the correct way and it should work out a damn site cheaper as well....

That'e exactly my intention - for the record, this 'wooden system' is being quoted at ...................... wait for it...........£110 per sq/metre:ninja:.

 

[DHTiling]

NO WAY!!!!!!....they want flogging....:beatdeadhorse5:

Whaaaat, do they think they **** gold or something?

 

[Sully]

Guess who can do it for less....... and more importantly do it correctly? I sense a new cleint slotting into my schedule :yes:
