Underfloor Heating Cable Floor Build Up

Starting at the sub floor which can be either wood or concrete. The following layer will be a thin bed of flexible adhesive about 4mm thick to stick down your insulation boards. Next, you will have your insulation board itself. Creating a base to lay your underfloor heating cable. Once the cable is laid you have two options. In this example we have shown the tiles being laid directly onto the heating cable, however, a self-leveling compound can also be poured over the cables prior to tiling. Providing an even conduction of heat and a protective layer whilst tilling. And finally, the tiles can be stuck down with a standard 6mm bed of flexible adhesive. Please also ensure that the tiles are laid with an even bed of adhesive for equal heat distribution and cable coverage. So, in conclusion, the floor will be raised dependent on a few variables by:

• 4mm bed of flexible adhesive.
• 6mm insulation board. (10mm & 20mm insulation also available).
• 2.5mm Underfloor Heating Cable 200w. Enveloped into levelling or tile adhesive.
• 6mm bed of tile adhesive.
• Tiles in this example 10mm tiles

Making a total additional floor height of 26mm dependent on chosen variables of insulation and tile heights.
