Ok, so it seems to work. Took the AC voltage down to about 130v with a 1000w rated dimmer. The floor is probably heating at about 70 - 80w so really gentle for the tiles.
Heating over the past two or three days now, started at 20c now up to 27.1c using an inrared thermometer from work. Takes an age to heat, best part of a day to register changes but gets there albeit very slowly, but that is what I wanted.
Looking at taking the temp up to just under 30c then cooling again. In normal use hoping to leave on all the time. The tiles will be at a tepid heat. If this doesn't negate cracking or warping quartz tiles, nothing will.
Would have been good at the time if the shop had told me the limitaions on these tiles, as at the time I specifically stated I was going to use underfloor heating.
