2. Insulator board (with a concrete subfloor as the heat can escape through the concrete)
Doesn't look too scary after all!
WHERE CAN I INSTALL IT IN MY HOME?Underfloor heating can be Installed in the bathroom, kitchen and other rooms in your home creating a beautiful warm floor that provides a wonderful touch of affordable luxury.
Install directly underneath the tile, on timber and concrete substrates to ensure the floor warms quickly and evenly as the mat or wire are laid where you need the heat.
The system is laid preferably with insulator mats but not necessary, the tiler will install the mat appropriately, and then lay out the underfloor heating system.
Once this is done the self-levelling compound is applied to cover the mat or wire; just so the wires are protected from any nicks of a trowel, and then your new tiles are ready to be fitted!
You must remember you need a qualified electrician to set up your timer.

WHAT TILES CAN BE USED WITH UNDERFLOOR HEATING?
All CTD floor tiles are suitable for underfloor heating, however we do recommend the use of a porcelain tile with its stronger and heavy weight qualities. You must make sure your tiler uses the correct adhesive and grout. The fixing material must be flexible and in some cases the adhesive has to be ‘two-part’, also the programmer must be installed by a qualified electrician.
