Hi All,
I'm looking to tile my bathroom floor but put an electric heating mat under it. I've seen the one at B&Q called heatwave. The subfloor is wooden floorboards and heatwave suggest doing it in the following order (bottom up):
Tiling (Finished Floor)
Adhesive
Heating Mat
Insulation Board
Adhesive
Wooden Floor (Sub Floor)
Looking around online some people suggest using self levelling compound on top of the heating mat first before adhesive, is this necessary? Also with the wooden floorboards do you think I'll have issues with a tiled floor. I'm guessing it should be ok if the floorboards are pretty level?!?
Has anyone had experience fitting these and got any tips - avoiding common mistakes etc?!
Would appreciate your comments, looking to improve my DIY skills so any advice welcome
Cheers
