    Default Limestone floor with ufh

    Hi all,
    Following on from my post the other day. changing a bedroom into a wetroom in an old house.
    25mm wooden floorboards in good condition, nice and firm and level, haven`t been lifted at all and no flex in the floor.
    Floor area approx 3.5 x 2.5 square metres.
    The plan is to put a Maxxus 1400 x 900 rigid wet deck former in the corner and to lay 600 x 400 limestone on the floor with electric ufh.
    What would you advise for the floor, Wedi/Marmox boards or a decoupling mat? Just wondering which would be the best way to proceed?

    Cheers,

    Ian.

    Decoupling mat every time, over a substantial underlay of plywood.

    Is the floor still going to have no movement with another 3-400 KGs of weight on it?

    What would be better, to replace the existing floorboards, with 25mm ply and noggins or to overlay the boards with 18mm (?) ply then decoupling mat?
