Hi, my name is Jon
I have already had a look around the forum and it has already been really useful regarding tiling onto an overlay underfloor heating system, but it has raised a few questions!
I will shortly be starting a floor tilling job onto an overlay (water based) underfloor heating system. The underfloor system is in conjunction with an Air Source Heat Pump (flow temperatures about 35deg C).
The PE-RT (polyethylene pipes are laid into a foil insulated polystyrene foam). From what I have read on the forum I am then planning to do the following:
Please could you advise if the steps I am proposing are correct and any materials you would recommend.
Any help/advice really appreciated, thank you.
Best Wishes
Jon

- Bond on a “backer board” using a flexible adhesive – I was planning on using 12mm thick minimum. Is thicker board better? Should the backer board be screwed down?)
- Lay down a de-coupling membrane
- Bond either stone or ceramic tiles to the backer board
Please could you advise if the steps I am proposing are correct and any materials you would recommend.
Any help/advice really appreciated, thank you.
