Good Morning All,

I'm having a single storey extension built in the coming months, and will be having under floor heating in this area.

We are also thinking about having this in the rest of the ground floor, however, the rest of the ground floor is a raised floor (approx. 30-60cm above ground), so we have joists/wooden boards.

Does anyone have experience of spreader plates or similar? Maybe put down the spreader plates, and then chipboard and then maybe tile over the top? Would I potentially have movement in the floor this way, which could lead to cracking of the tiles?

Or is it best to concrete the floor through, lay the UFH and maybe tile over the top?
 
Is this in the wrong section?

Does it need to be in the 'General Chat' sub forum?
 
Hi mate,

Have a look at wundafloor, we have used it for our ground floor although we had a concrete floor they do have a option for floor boards I now wish we had done it upstairs as well...

The system works very well, each room has its own thermostat, basically the tiles site on top of the pipe so it heats up very quickly.

Would definitely recommend it !
 
I'll have a look....

Thanks
