Hi,
At the moment our kitchen has ceramic tiles laid on top of a concrete screed. The screed sits on top of some wooden joists with insulation in the gaps.
I'd like to have underfloor heating and a wooden floor. It is about 20m square so I am thinking of a wet system but have the following queries;
- when i take up the tiles, would I need to re-screed?
- can you lay a wet system on top of the screed, if so do you need to cover with a new screed?
- is solid or engineered wood better?
- would you recommend removing the original screed to keep the floor height at an acceptable level?
Many thanks,
Mark
