[QUOTE="1animal1, post: 851083"] 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 mats cables. The question I have is around the process and a couple of niggles. The plan is to use the supplied thermal primer compound to prep the newly laid wooden T&G floor boards (I have enough for 10m2 so thought i'd use that instead of buying something similar), then use a flexible tile adhesive to lay 10mm insulation boards, filling any gaps with adhesive. I'll then prime the insulation boards with the thermal primer before laying the mat, testing the mat, then screeding over ready for tiling with 10mm 60x60 polished porcelain. I have asked this on another part of the forum and had 1 answer, but the instructions are a bit vague. The cold/hot feed bulky connection that needs setting in tile adhesive? My plan was to hide this in the lower wall, sunk in tile adhesive then a wall tile on top (I've made a recess of about 30mm) - presume the recommendation to sink in tile adhesive is to spread the heat about. Another forum member suggests cutting into the insulation board and screeding over but the instructions say specifically not to do this due to overheating and premature failure, the insulation board obviously retaining any heat the connection gives off. What do you chaps do? Second query is around the door trim. I am going to buy a chrome z door trim that can be hammered down (with a lump of wood), to accept 25-30mm given the 10mm board, screed, mat and 10mm tiles. Luckily i have a decent depth carpet on the other side to hide this - are there any other trims worth looking at? I'm conscious that it may look tacky in chrome? or is this standard....I am also wondering what to do when screeding, do i put a piece of wood in place of the door trim to screed up to then remove to fit the door trim once tiled? Thanks in advance and sorry for all the amateur questions :) Tim [/QUOTE]
