Hello. We are going to tile a large kitchen diner sometime soon. The existing floor is concrete which is going to be reasonably level (after I apply more compound). I don't think there will be insulation boards under the screed due to the age of the house.
Whats your opinion on undertile insulation boards? I know they are generally used in combination with underfloor heating (but we wont be having it, mostly due to the cost). The area is about 22m-sq.
Ideally we would use 6mm deep board due to the level of the back door. Could get away with 10mm.
Will they save us money on heating and will the floor feel less cold if we use them?
How easy are they to lay and lay onto and do they cause problems with movement and loosening tiles?
Lots of questions I know. But its about time I did something about it.
Many thanks!
