    Default UFH continuing onto wetroom fromer

    I have a job coming up which I am currently specing out. It is a large (20m2) wetroom that requires UFH. Floors are traditional floorboards which are to be overboarded. Shower former is most likely going to be Marmox showerlay.
    Question I have is how is the best way to carry the UFH onto the former. I want to SLC the UFH matting but I am unsure how best to do this? Until now I have always either not fitted UFH in a wetroom, or stopped it prior to the gradient of the former commencing.
    Any ideas or photos would be great......cheers
    Sorry if similar has been asked before

    It might be wise to stop the UFH short of the tray.. the heat will transfer to the tray tiles...

    Stick 2x1 to the tray with silicone to prevent slc flowing away and then when set peel the timber away and feather the tray with adhesive..

    Tell them it is unwise as if a tray failure occurs then they lose the ufh as well.
