tiling over underfloor heating mat

[Paulboy]

How much more difficult does it make to tile over an underfloor heating mat?

not much difference at all mate, i normally use a plastic float effect tool for applying the adhesive, you just got to be careful you dont cut through the elements of your mate

be careful you dont cut through the "elements" of your mate

That could be quite painful JC,,,, .
I know what you mean though mucca.

lay your mat,check it with a multimeter.
then use a 2part slc over it,use a plastic trowel to smooth over(as jc said dont nik the elememts).
check again with m/meter.
addy then tiles.
if you use a 2part slc,and in the future you need to lift a tile,then you wont damage the ufh.
there are waterbased slc out there,but i havent used them onto ufh.i always use a latex based one..stuck in my ways i guess..
