PolyPipe UFH system

[Sir Ramic]

Anyone tiled onto this?. UFCH

[Dave]

Similar system yes!!..why you ask neale..?..

[Sir Ramic]

I did a similar system last year. I have another soon and just wanted opinions as to best way to handle it.

[Dave]

Is it the installation or just the tiling side..?

[Sir Ramic]

Just the tiling dave, i think they will be using SLC before i tile from what i have heard today.

[Dave]

Any idea what tiles.....obviosly it is the usual sticky for thermal expansion and that....any expansion joints must be followed etc....

Has the system been tested and brought up to temp and cooled...

[Dave]

SLC..then personaly i would use a flexi one....this is another added layer onto the existing screed so needs to be flexi...mapei fibre plan is spot on for this..

[Sir Ramic]

Tiles are pretty much bog standard ceramics, nowt special. It will be tested soon but not as yet.
Expansion at perimeter of room and covered with skirting, dont think anymore will be needed.

[Dave]

And how big is the area to be tiled..?..

[Sir Ramic]

About 20m2.

[Dave]

You will be ok without an uncoupling membrane neale..but it would give a better failsafe installation...IMO...

If you use a rapid set with admix .. this will give a stronger bed than standard spf rapids..

just a thought...

[Sir Ramic]

Yeah i was going to suggest the membrane but i havent spoken with the client yet, just the builder.

Now i didnt know that

[Dave]

Now i didnt know that

This is because you control the strength not a hydrated mix from a bag...
