Which electric ufh system

[Bopster]

With the grid systems i know it’s a personal choice but where do people stand on slc or tile straight over? For me I like slc over elec as a future proof thing
I like the idea of grids it’s just the material costs are significantly higher

The material cost of DCM Pro is slightly higher than say sticky matt but you easily claw that back with speed of fitting.

On this current job I’d be looking at additional £600 for grid. That a lot of time to claw back

 

[Boggs]

Yeah, I think it was about £8 sqm more.

Ufh equals levelling comp for me no matter what the system

Scenario, the floor needs levelling and ufh. Why would I level, insulate, carrier mat and tile as opposed to insulate ,ufh mat, level then tile?
Sell it to me guys!

I can't because I would do the second unless floor runs 2 " then I would level twice

There's a few factors to consider when choosing a system for me. If a floor needs some levelling and im fitting porcelain tiles I'll most likely use a mesh system and level over it.
If the floor is good and doesn't need levelling, or I want uncoupling, I'll most likely use a membrane system. Also if it's a more complicated layout.
There really is no problem tiling straight over a membrane ufh system, you fill the cavity as you go.

Schlüter ditra heat for me

Check out our sponsor the wetroom store below used one of their kits this week and decent quality they do a loose wire system , mats do float in SLC stainless stapels fired into the insulation board and may mesh hold it in place obviously keep well away from the wire .kop
