Underlay ???   'hadn't thought of that !

I imagined it would be glued to the screed, rather than laid
loose ... interlocked, presumably, but loose ... ?

which seems odd, because ceramic tiles wouldn't be laid loose,
surely, so glues must be available ... ?

'wonder how much hotter must the water be to cope with this ... maybe
it's a specially conductive underlay ... maybe doubling the pipe
would compensate (IIRC Ian's used more pipe, to run cooler, so might
work) ... ?

being softer underfoot might be good, of course, but it rather puts
me off the idea !
