    Default First UFH Advice

    My first UFH instalation so any advice is truly welcome!
    8sqm approx. On reading reviews on here probably use UHeat mat or cables. Currently floor has laminate boards over wooden floorboards (upstairs bathroom). I was intending to do the following but would appreciate any comments:
    1) take up laminate
    2) Secure floorboards to joists
    3) Install 18mm exterior plywood
    4) Install 10mm Ekoboard using Single Part Flexible if client accept
    5) Lay UFH
    6) Cover with Mapei Fibreplan
    7) Tile 600 x 600 porcelain tiles using Single Part Flexible and flexible grout
    Thanks in advance

    sounds good to me Paul, to reduce height you could probably use 6mm hardibacker board instead of ply, but make sure floorboards are completely deflection free

    Thanks Doug, floor height is not a problem as you step down into the bathroom.
