Installation step 5
Tile and grout
The tile adhesive and grout must include an additive for
flexibility and be suitable for use with underfloor heating.
Refer to the tile adhesive manufacturer’s instructions
for usage. 2 part flexible adhesive is best.
Check that the heating wire is fully taped and secure.
Tile as normal, taking care not to damage or dislodge
the heating wire with the trowel or with the tiles.
If tiling with mosaic slate or similar tiles, it is advisable
to cover the heating wire with latex self-levelling
compound before tiling.
When using a notched trowel, gently comb the adhesive
in straight lines in the same direction as the runs of the
heating wire. The trowel should be used at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees to the floor. If possible use
a plastic trowel.
Do not allow the trowel to make contact with the heating
wire whilst applying the adhesive. Use sufficient adhesive
to ensure that there are no voids or hollows under the tile.
If a tile has been positioned incorrectly, take great care
not to damage the heating wire when lifting.
Remember that tiles must not be lifted once the adhesive
is dry, as this will damage the heating wire. Do not store
or cut tiles on top of the heating wire. Do not allow
chippings or dust to contaminate the floor during tiling.
Care must be taken not to damage the heating wire during
the tiling process. Use a piece of carpet or a dustsheet as a
"crawl-board" to prevent the heating wire being damaged
by your feet or knees during the tiling process.
If possible, check the heater resistance with a multi-meter
every half hour or so. If the heater goes open circuit
(no reading on the multi-meter)
DO NOT CONTINUE

Grout the floor as soon as possible as per the ceramic tile
adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. Do not switch on the
heater until the tile adhesive has fully dried. (min. 7 days).
