Re: Underfloor heating...

["Jon Payne" <jgpayne@xxxxxxx>]

Ah, excellent, thanks Tim just what I wanted to know - I'd be fitting
electric
UFH myself and then ceramic tiles. SYMBO wants tiles in the bathroom, but
I
don't want them to feel cold.

Thanks v.much,
jon

underneath the floor to fit this :-)

for a wet system. They can be bulky and also get hot (~30-40degC).

with ply (or hardboard I can't actually remember :-(  ) and then
fitting the
mat etc. on top of that. It can reduce movement / flex and help prevent
cracking of the adhesive / grout.
