I am renovating my kitchen myself and so I don't mind things that are difficult to change being over-engineered a little but there is so much conflicting advice out there I am hoping for some good advice from you guys!
The floor is suspended timber floor, joists seem to be about 450cm apart and seem stable and sound and I want to install ceramic or travertine tiles with electric underfloor heating.
The advice so far which I am happy with is:
1.Remove Pine t&g floor boards, and replace with 25mm WBP ply adding regular noggins below (ply screwed down at regular intervals)
2.stick down 10mm tile cement insulation panels with flexible adhesive
3.install electric underfloor heating cable
4.tile on top of that with flexible adhesive.
Could or should insulation be installed between joists (ie loft insulation) aswell as insulation board, or could this be used instead of insulation board which would reduce raising floor height by 10mm.
Thanks
Richard
