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.
I doubt that I will purchase two thermostats as I am purchasing the kits. So for now, it's the Schluter T-Stat. Like I said, all that I have installed to this point is NuHeat, so I am familiar with their product. I will try out the Schluter T-Stat and go from there. It's usually a set it and forget product. Once it's dialed in, it usually just runs on the program.I take from your first response you are NOT an electrician and have no problem violating both the local code and manufactures install requirements. That alone voids the Schluter warranty.
It's not a violation to work under someone's license. So no violation has been made as long as a certified electrician is willing to sign off on the work.
I made no inference, you just need to justify your statements by assuming others cannot comprehend a clear factual statement.
If you say so. I just like to make sure everything is understood. If I read something in a way others might as well. In the future you may want make sure you clarify your statements. My apologies for stepping on your toes.
Stop assuming.
It was assuming, but concluded, there is a big difference. You really got you panties in a bunch over me clarifying your statements. Got lighten up a bit.
Big difference between Kerdi band and covering the entire shower receptor with Kerdi. You only need to Kerdi band the heat matt if you're looking for a waterproof installation, same as you would with regular Ditra. If you do not need a waterproof installation no band is required.
Agree, never stated anything to the contrary. These statements always make me scratch my head. You are clarifying my statement and that is okay in your eyes, but I am not allowed to do the same to yours. Weird.
The Schluter bulb will not nest in the center of a stud (as required in the installation instructions) without cutting the stud. Cutting the stud for the sensors is addressed in the 6th step in the installation manual.
I guess they showed us another method at the show, cuz they just stuck it in the track, they didn't cut the stud.
The warranty on the Ditra Heat matt is you use another cable, for those who want to read this from Schluter it is addressed in their FAQ section. I don't see what could fail in the matt but......
That made no sense. I can only repeat what they said at the show and that was if you install someone else's cable they won't warranty the mat through their cable. Meaning they won't go through another manufacturers cable to get to their mat.
Even if you do not use the NuHeat cable, do yourself a favor and use the NuHeat t-stat.
