  • Hello, I did some reading here and there, but the opinions seem to diverge at some point and I am not able to translate the info to my particular question.

  • Hi fellow forum dwellers, am a distraught customer looking for some advice. We did an extension and got water pipe UFH installed throughout the ground floor close to 100sqm. The WFH was left to dry for 4 weeks before the tiling was commissioned. We purchased glazed porcelain tiles from TilePlus in Oldbury. The store were […]
  • I have a customer who lives in a 200 year old property. The lounge floor he wants tiled which is very thick concrete. He wants electric underfloor heating but I'm concerned he'll lose too much heat into the concrete. He's gone with tumbled modular limestone and the floor is quite wavy which they want to […]
  • Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew roughly the cost of running electric underfloor heating? I am aware that different systems will be slightly different but just a general estimate from peoples experience. I am asking as was building an extension in our house and weighing up the cost of underfloor as opposed to […]
  • Hi all, Having been doing a lot of reading but have come for some advice if at all possible, please. We had a major flood on the downstairs of our home and to cut a long story short, under the tiles weren’t drying so they had to come up. The tiles that were taken up […]

  • Hi I am in the process of fitting a new En suite out and have recently bought a 2m2 heat mat with digital timer. So far I have chased through the walls, ran the electric feed to a fused spur (3A – it's only 150w rating) and ran conduit to the floor ready for the […]

Its 18mm chipboard well screwed down and I've bought, cut and laid 6mm Hardiebacker but not fixed or glued it yet. Shall i do away with the Hardie and just screw and glue 6mm insulation boards […]

  • Hi all, I'm hoping you can advise me on a few things. We have recently had underfloor heating installed. All was going well however whilst the builder was fitting the system, I noticed that he was using Everbuild 708 levelling compound to embed the wires. I could see anywhere on the packet that it is […]

  • I have a problem developing with tiles laid over water UFH in anhydrite screed. A few tiles are sounding hollow and are slowly becoming loose. The floor was 'scarified' using an orbital floor machine with a rotating disc with points underneath. The floor was then treated with a primer apparently suitable for anhydrite screeds ( […]
  • Hello, I’m new to tiling and to forums so my apologies for both if there are any etiquette failures! I’ve scoured the internet and can’t find any tangible advice on tiling on over overfloor heating. We installed the Wundafloor EPS 400 system ourselves (other half and I) and are concerned about the loops which sit […]
  • 12m2 conservatory floor so ideally 11m2 mat. Would you bother with 2 mats or do you think 10m2 mat opened up a bit would suffice? Trav tiles so should heat up nicely.
