45° plank tile with underfloor heating

[Flintstone]

I thought I'd share this project, quite a lot went into this and I think it turned out great. The floor was a bit of a mess so there was some leveling prior to fitting the insulation and underfloor heating.
This system is the new pro warm system which uses the dural cifh carrier mat and there 6mm cable, spaced to suit your needs, this one was 185w.
This was the perfect job for Kerakol fugalite bio parquet epoxy with there being several dogs in the house. First time using this epoxy and I found it fairly straight forward and the finish is far superior to regular cement based grout.
The forum is telling me some images are too large for some reason.

Lovely job @Localtiler, how does the fugalite epoxy compare to other brands?

 

[Dumbo]

I like that dural matting . I've used a fair bit get on with it really well. I do the same as you and level over the cable as well .

 

[Simon Dale]

Looks really nice @Localtiler. I still have nightmares with epoxy

Lovely work

 

[Flintstone]

Thanks chaps, @Adey1980 the only other epoxy I have used is an older version from kerakoll.

 

[Boggs]

Really nice work!
That u/f heating looks like a work of art, got to try this system myself, looks so much better than Warmup!

 

[Waluigi]

Anyone remember the days when you had to continue the wire round for the return?

Nowadays it loops at the end.

I also remember the days of having to put a metal earth grid over the floor.

Warmup has a system just like that- DCM Pro

 

[Boggs]

Why have I never seen that before!
I have one of their reps round every now and then will have to see about getting a deal and giving it a whirl.

Nope, not that old!

Was it Dodo washed down with Mead back then?

Really well executed Andy.
Just curious how many people think the ufh heating carrier/decouplers are necessary with porc when thermal boards are present? I dont' think they're necessary at all in that scenario.
Another thread perhaps?

 

[John Benton]

Lovely Andy, that epoxy grout looks spot on

 

[Flintstone]

I must add a big thankyou to Sam at @Pro Tiler Tools for making a 3 hour journey to come to see me in person and bring me some supplies which I ordered and the delivery driver decided to throw the towel in half way through a shift. Top man!

 

[Spare Tool]

Cracking job that Andy

The forum is telling me some images are too large for some reason.

You need to add them as a thumbnail Andy, not a full image mate.
It slows down the page dramatically.

 

[Old Mod]

Lovely job mate.

 

[Flintstone]

Cheers Marc. This was when I was uploading before even posting. Tried a few ways but it wouldn't have it. I always add as full image

Full images are ok if there’s only one or two, but anymore and the page will take an eternity to load. It should be quicker now.

Lovely job!

 

[Bill]

Very nice indeed.

The grout height looks superb and just how grout should look. As you say, cement grouts are hard to achieve that finish.

 

[Uheat - Jake]

That UFH looks awesome! Very neat job!

A lot of customers we sell our version to say it's just a lot easier to install then a cable on it's own or even a mat.

How much does the epoxy work out per m2?

 

[Flintstone]

Not cheap lakey this worked out about £10 a meter Inc sponges and cleaning products

 

[Lakey]

We recently used Schluter's Ditra Mat Duo which was pretty straightforward as well.

Worth it for the end result though! Nice one.
How come the customer wanted a 45 layout?

 

[Flintstone]

Long and thin room with long kitchen, they wanted to break it up a bit

 

[judge]

Lovely work.great looking tile too

Same here 45m2 of it, I also used a Karl dahm underlayment roller on recommendation from @Localtiler and it made life a lot easier
