Scrap that - I just found this http://blog.floorheatingonline.com/how-to-lay-marmox-on-a-concrete-floor

Thanks mate for the links. The marmox board looks good. Just wondering, how do you lay it on concrete? I.e., how is it bonded? With mortar? and if so, is that with sharp sand or builders sand? Thanks!

Hi tictic Sorry, what's an SLC? The area is about 12m2. You said insulation boards (I presume something like Celotex?) but there is Celotex under the slab; I would have thought cement board would be better because, well, it's a lot stronger! Not sure I feel comfortable about laying...

Okay so I ask this here as Richard C kindly pointed out this forum on a comment I made on the flooring forum. Situation is, the recently-laid concrete slab in my kitchen and bathroom is 25mm below the level of the top of the floorboards in the dining room (which adjoins the kitchen, which...

Standard thickness (the ones you get in Wickes; the thickness of a standard house brick which I guess is something like 100mm?).

Hi I have an old Victorian (circa 100 years old) property which has a downstairs bathroom at the back, which itself has a doorway to a smallish toilet room/WC (that I suspect may originally have been an outside toilet; I don't know). We have resited the toilet to inside the bathroom and are...
