motv8tr Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi all, I'm sure someone here will have the answer. A friend at work want to put ceramic tile down in her laundry room. The concern is that she has in floor heating (not sure what type at the moment if it matters) and will need to use a self leveling compound before laying tiles. Her concern is that it would be too much "stuff" covering the heating and having it not work properly or too much as a result. Does anyone here have any knowledge on this or experience?? Thanks for your help Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 A friend just did something similar about two years ago. Hasn't been any problems to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbay Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Same as the other guys: I did it in the master bathroom, shouldn't be a problem. In fact, one morning I walked into the bathroom to find my little guy fast asleep, curled up on the bath mat after taking a leak at some time during the night!

Greencoachdog Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 ... so, y'all put heaters in your floor?... WTH for???... it only stays cold for 2 or 3 weeks eh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashhopper Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) should be no problem.... UNLESS she turns the heat on too soon after the self leveling compound was poured. This also pertains to any thinset used to set the tiles. wait at least 30 days to turn the heat on in the floor. If she doesn't... she risk the possibility of the leveling compound "powdering out" Splashhopper aka www.TheGroutDoctor.ca Edited August 14, 2009 by splashhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
