Hi,
Hope this is the right forum!
This weekend I'm going to be laying the Insulation boards for electric mat underfloor heating and then the mat itself before a tiler comes in and lays the floor on monday/tuesday. I'm happy with the electrical side of it but not sure how to lay the insulation, i've assumed it's with flexible cement based adhesive but I'm not sure on the finer points such as:
What sized trowel I need?
Do I lay them the same as a tile on a thick continuous bed of adhesive or will a thin layer just to stick them suffice (floor is pretty level and new)?
Was I right with flexible cement based adhesive?
Do I tape all the edges with a suitable tape like duck tape?
Thanks for all your help
