What system do you guys use for heated tile floor. I haven't done one in a long time. The tile guy won't put the wire in and neither will the electrician (he just hooks it up). I guess that leaves me.

It appears the thread has moved on the other things as well but I thought I should pop back into to say thanks for the feedback and I have the tile installer set up to install the Schluter system. He had recommended it and then after reading what everyone had to say the decision was easy.


When you are at a square footage where you can choose, do you guys do the 120 volts system or 240 volt system? We went with the 120 volt on this job but was interested what others are doing for future projects.

I do 120 when I can to save space in the panel, unless there is a possibility of adding another zone to the same circuit that might put it over 1920 watts.

Does anyone know if the ditra heat mat needs to be on a gfi circuit breaker?

The installation handbook says:

Ground fault equipment protection (i.e., GFCI) is required for each circuit (included in the DITRA-HEAT thermostats).

If I use the NuHeat t-stat instead, does it change anything?
