    Default Limestone tiles and UFH question.....

    Just tiled and sealed and grouted and sealed 15 sq metres of limestone tiles.

    Plumber wants to know how long before he can fire up the UFH - it's a wet system

    Many thanks!

    It should have been bought up to temperature slowly giving the screed chance to expand and bought down again, have you fixed any un-coupling membrane ? I fear you could be looking at trouble ahead.

    I've just done the tiling. The screed has been down about 6 weeks already
