Hi,
Not sure if anyone can advise on this. I have underfloor heating installed with a concrete poured floor. Now I'm looking to build up the floors by approx 6mm to avoid having to use saddleboards between rooms that join with a semi-solid wooden floor. I was going to use just a normal water based self levelling compound to do this but in the last few days people have been saying to me to use a latex based one because of the the UFH needs a flexible base. I know about having to use flexible adhesive, grout and glue but this is the first i've heard of flexible floor compound. The latex one is a good bit dearer and the builder is now going mad over having to use it and wants to use the water based one. Has anyone come across this before or is this just overkill and also does the same apply for tiles and semi solid floors?
Thanks!
