    Default Floating floor

    I have a floor to tile with Travertine. The area is 9m2 and has been prepared with a floating floor to bring it up to the height of the existing floor in the other room. The floor is to have underfloor heating. What I was going to use was 10mm Insulation boards fixed down with 2 part adhesive to the chipboard/heating wires down and cover with slc/2 part adhesive white to fix the travertine. My question is should a de-coupling membane be used anywhere in this installation or am I ok with what I have mentioned? Thx Ross
    I feel the need, the need for speed!

    I always thought floating floors were not a suitable substrate for tiing, I will stand corrected if I am wrong

    I would rather not tile onto a floating floor but it's how it's been prepared Phil
