Tiling onto new sand cement screed after 3 weeks sounds much too soon unless you are using modified...

hi, thanks for response guys, the temp sensor isn't too close to the pipes, around 300mm away. we have a towel rail which heats the room aswel, the UFH was primarily to take the chill off the floor. I'm just worried that the adhesives above where the pipes are may be cracking or something..but I guess i cnt do anything now, just wait and see Thanks

That would depend on membrane used but glue gun glue doesnt stay hot long.

I bought one and found it far to slow. Good for the odd lose bit of wire but not for the main area. Maybe it was because it was cheap but tape took no time at all. no need for posh tape gaffer tape is fine. but remember you cant use tape with lose wire. Only on mesh mats.

cheers for help ajax, any reccomendations on what top membrane to use, or are they all alike. thanks again

Sorry been busy. Don't have any photos of work done in progress, shame really would have been good for a laugh.

This is just a thought, if you are tanking a room with a membrane and then glue the UFH to it will the heat damage the membrane?

The central heating is usally a lower temp and as such unlikly to affect the tiling

depends where you have installed the temp sensor for the floor. If it is very close to the radiator pipes it could give a false reading and shut down prematurely. I think the water in the pipes in cental heating can be as hot as 85oC thereabouts. Is the floor the main heating for the room or is it just for comfort?? Best to experiment once you have moved in as you may be worrying over nothing.
