[QUOTE="ciego21, post: 988588, member: 60796"] Hi coastal. I'm not a lover of the uncoupling mats that have the cable clipped into them. I do alot of work for one particular builder and we use warm up in nearly every bathroom. Lay the electric wire. Latex over with fibre latex then install crack mat. Even heated screeds we crack mat. Biggest one to date 250m2. All ditra matted big expense for the customer but they don't want issues. This keeps the tiling layer completely separate from the strains and stresses of the heating and in alot of cases movement from the timber floor. Natural stone doesn't like any kind of movement at all. Compared to porcelain some natural stones have the strength of a digestive biscuit. I've never sealed tiles prior to installing even though I can see the benefits. I've always laid tiles. Clean of dust from cutting etc. Sealed(one or two coats) grouted then sealed again.. normally lithofin. White S1 rapid set or if I can get away with it semi rapid white. Rapid sets ruined about 100 mixing buckets way before their time over the years. I try to only use rapid set for putting crackmats down. [/QUOTE]
