Hi all
I am new to the forums and looking to get my kitchen diner floor tiled which is approx 30sqm
The tiler is proposing following
1. Self level floor as old tiles were taken up and some of the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ is still present and not flat floor - Is this needed or can insulation boards just be applied with https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ which will cover imperfections
2. Apply XPS insulation boards with keraquick https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ - does he need to prime the concrete subfloor first after self levelling before putting down insulation boards if so which primer ?
3. Lay electric underfloor heating mat on insulation board - again do you just apply the primer that comes with the mat to the insulation boards and electric mat before tile
4. Use keraquick to fix tiles to mat and insulation board - at this stage is self levelling latex recommended on top of the mat before laying down the tiles ?
5. Grout and polish tiles
Any other advice appreciated to ensure he is doing the right thing - large area and big investment so want to ensure it is right
Thanks
