    UFH Loose Wires installed.
    Cover with Mapei Fiberplan.
    Tile over with Mapei Keraquick and Mapei Ultracolour Plus Grout.

    Yes, with 12mm ply and UFH you really should use Latex Plus additive with the adhesive. How big is the floor?

    Just for the extra cost of latex plus, do it once and do it right
