As I mentioned I got my 40cm square sample of "Easy Panel" from
www.floorheater.co.uk.

It's like Jablite, but with a firmer less friable bottom surface and 0.1mm
ali foil on the top surface, with grooves to take PEX pipe for UFH. The
nice bloke chuckied in 1/2 bag of Mapei Kerabond and an opened bottle of
Isoflex admix.

Today, I glued it down to a bit of floor using just Kerabond and water (so
basically normal cementy tile adhesive). I glued it to the top of a section
of exposed quarry tiles that I'd cleaned off with Flash to remove any
grease and dirt.

The "grab" seemed quite good. I won't know until next week when I go and
inspect it how well it's bonded, but it seemed to be starting to bond quite
well.

As it was partially stuck after 1/2 hour, I mixed up some Kerabond and 100%
Isolflex (no water) and glued 9 15cm tiles on top, after laying in the
sample of PEX pipe.

First impressions are good. It's got some give in it - but it won't like
being bent too hard over a lumpy floor with compound slops - so I need to
get my front room a bit flatter first (looks like 5 bags of latex screed).

I'll get some pictures next week and give it a bit of a kicking to see how
well it's glued. I'm quite tempted to go with it. Bit of floor insulation
and warm toes. Hmm... I might be able to bodge some hose onto the PEX and
run the hot tap though it and see how it performs WRT heating.

Hi Tim,

I'm looking to install one of these systems, how did you get on in the end?

Many thanks
Peter

Blimey - you dredged that up fromn the past!

OK - I did not use it in the end. Stuck some Marmox down for insulation and
left it at that.

Cheers
