Hardiebacker Or Warm Up Board - TilersForums.com

[jimbo]

I have a floor to tile and install underfloor heating. The subfloor is tongue and groove tinber.Is it best to use Hardiebacker boards or Warm Up Insulation Boards

Warm-up boards will be fine, go for 10mm if you can, the extra thickness will help with insulation better.

Is there any bounce in the floor?
What tiles are you laying?

 

[jimbo]

No floor is solid.Th tiles are 600x600 porcelain

As @p4ulo said use an insulation boards but screw the floor boards down

There's not a lot of difference in price between the two,so I would go for insulation board

Running cost should be a big saving if a insulation board is used. I find these XP-PRO Boards are a good price and give excellent insulation and warm up .

I've heard of loads of people using the uncoated, but only on solid floors. Are the ok on timber?
