Hi all
Ive been to look at a job, its a nice big one 130+ mtrs but there is insulation boards on top of plywood. The insulation boards hold 10mm or so pipework which is the heating system, the pipes are just below the surface. The builder has said i can tile straight on top of this.
Is this correct as ive always thought there should be a sand and cement screed on top which should be min of 50mm. I called a plumber who fits the water underfloor heating systems but he hasnt come across this before.
the tiles are 600x600 porcelain,not polished and as the floor is flat so i can get a few day down quickly.
just the underfloor heating is stopping me putting the estimate in until im happy i know enough about it.
the builder said its fine, any thoughts from the pro's????
Thank you in advance
