I've been asked to install some electric underfloor heating, as part of a bathroom refurb. Never installed the stuff before myself, in fact 'cos of some of the nightmare stories I've read here, I've managed to avoid it. However, got to do it this time. I was wondering if those that have put some in, could offer some installation tips, or do's & don'ts.
Customer will be providing the matt & controls, he wants a particular thermostat, which is WiFi connected. I don't know the manufacturer at the moment. The heating is going in a small 1st floor ensuite, about 2m square and may have a tiled walk in shower. He wants the tiled shower area heated, which I'm not sure is possible, due to the gradients of the base?
I've read about testing continuity before and after tiling. Subfloor will be chipboard overlade with 18mm ply, and whatever tanking is required. I see that most manufacturers suggest installing conduit for the sensor, what do you use?
Advice appreciated.
