[QUOTE="aflemi, post: 242760, member: 6268"] I am doing a customer's bathroom and this includes ufh. They have supplied Thermonet heatmat. The situation is: Solid concrete floor approx 4sqm, previously laid with vinyl tiles on bitumen for past 30+ years, tiles came up easily floor seems stable. Slight complication is plumber has dug up an area of floor approx 130mm x 800mm x 80mm deep at the wall edge to relocate radiator pipes. I have a few questions, bit unsure as never laid ufh before. If the 'dug up' area is relaid with sand/cement, would I have to leave it 80 days to fully dry? (customer will explode.....) or is there a de-coupling product I could use? if so I assume it would just require to be used over the affected area with some margin? I understand the procedure is to lay insulation boards using flexible adhesive?, lay heating mat and cover with slc (I prefer to tile over rather than risk catching wires, is that correct? Thermonet recommend Mira x-plan. I am slightly unsure of procedure for checking resistance while laying the mat, I have a resistance meter, do I temporarily plug in the connecting wires to check (and record for warranty) regularly? I thought I wascomfortable with the procedure until I read thermonet's diagram for laying on solid floor Broken Link Removed where they recommend sand + cement screed over insulation then the matting. I appreciate this is long winded but need to have it right and after reading their instructions I think I am more confused than before. Thanks in advance for help. [/QUOTE]
