To Do's And Not To Do’s


Question for my fellow CT’ers. I have won the bid on a full bathroom remodel. A bathroom remodel that I didn’t really want, but now I am happy that I won. I am going to get to learn something new. How to install a heated floor system under ceramic. I get the basics of it, but if you have any suggestions and tips on some to do's and not to do’s for the installation. No need to get into detail, I will read what the manufactures suggest, so basically are there any tricks to this stuff? Tell me what you know about it, and I will not read from the manufacture.

Re: To Do's And Not To Do’s


The tricks would depend on the manufacturer, they each seem to have plusses and minuses and quirks. I have installed 2 and now I am sticking with only one brand, I like it and the easy way you custom order them.

It seems like everyday a new one is coming on the market. Which one are you planning on installing?

Peladu,
How ya doing? By the way your hair is standing up on your avatar, I'd say you've already walked across it with wet feet.
