    It shouldn't have UFH under it.......your not supposed to cover up tiles that have UFH installed......might cause the UFH to over heat etc......just a thought....as for sticking it down....liquid nails....

    Dave, I don't think the "ceramics" in the title are tiles. I think he means the ceramic toilet pan.

    I would use good quality silicone to glue the toilet down. Others may suggest something like pinkgrip, but silicone works well and is far easier to remove if needs be.

    thanks for that guys! i shouldnt of put the heating under the toilet i know but he told me he was having it the day i turned up!it fit the room exact and didnt have any play in it to get round where the toilet was going to be (it was the mat system.......never again!)

    Smokey was that ment tongue in cheek because I don't think drilling holes through the floor into the UFH would work! or don't you mean that? why would someone buy a mat that big any way!!!
