Thanks for the advice... decided to forget about the cement screed and
recess spreader plates into the Jablite & fit UFH piping into it,
connected to a twin loop manifold, & covered by 9mm ply with the 18mm
oak flooring on top.

If you haven't bought your bits,www.floorheater.co.ukhave exactly that,
ready made (foil covered jablite with pipe grooves).

I have most of the materials i need the foil covered recessed jablite
looks the business though, maybe next time.

OK.

BTW - I assume you are tiling over this. Don't forget that you will need a
flexible adhesive and flexible grout. I would go with Class S2 which is
more flexible than S1.

Mapei Kerabond + Isolastic works well for sticking tiles to flexible things,
but there are many other options. That's a slow adhesive (many hours
setting time) - there are super fast ones that can be made or obtained
flexible too.

For the grout, you'll be OK with Mapei Keracolour + Fugulastic liquid
instead of water, though there are again many other options.

Don't be tempted to be cheap here - the tiles or joints will crack,
especially with UFH.
