Hi folks,
I'm looking for some thoughts on an uncoupling layer - the posts already here have helped a bit but....
We're looking at laying a new kitchen / family area thats about 34sq-m if size matters.
Here's the detail:
Slurried Block and beam base over a void.
125mm Celotex insulation
Wet UFH in a 50mm rapid set screed.
PEI 5 grade Porcelain tiles on a flexible adhesive.
I want to tile within 2 weeks of the screed going down and I'd like to know if I need to use an uncoupling layer such as Schluter DITRA (is there a cheaper equivalent that's as good)?
Advice and tips gratefully received.
Thanks
