insulation boards on concrete - TilersForums.com

[radim]

I got about 40 m2 of porcelain floor to do.
concrete slab, insulation boards, heating wire, and tile. Do you screw or just glue insulation boards to concrete?
cheers.

not sure. half is existing floor and half new extension.
still got a couple of weeks to go tho...

befor you go any futher you need to know the moisture content of the extension slab as putting any thing over will trap in any moisture you may need to put a liquid dpm down first
