Underfloor on insulation boards

[Stef]

I always put ufh into a screed as it avoids any air pockets when you are tiling..

Has anyone tried priming the subfloor and then laying the UFH element whilst the primer is still tacky? It should work - i use this method when demonstrating levellers being applied over UFH but i have never tried it over a large area.

We have a new leveller being launched very soon that will allow you to tile within 60 minutes of applying the leveller. I'll keep you all informed.

Hi mark
that would probably work, but feet and knees would stick too!

I have aver always primed the insulation boards before laying the cables........the tape sticks a lot better, and then self level.

I use a telecom cable stapler, the staple does not go in all the way, it sits just high enough to secure the UFH cable without cutting/compressing the wire. Then drop the screed on top
