Turning underfloor heating on before tiling?

Ashfield · 13-03-2009 10:31am #1

Hi all,
We have underfloor heating downstairs in our house and plan to tile the hall and kitchen area,
I was just wondering how long we need to have the heating on before we can tile?
Some people have said a few days, some have said a couple of weeks.
One thing everyone has said is to increase the heat slowly dat by day,
Thanks

Hi,

We have underfloor heating downstairs too and the tiler is going to be doing the kitchen and the hall next week. We had the heating on for a week or so before the tiler started (he has the bathrooms done) but we have kept it off since on his advice. When the tiling is completed we will be putting on the heating slowly and gradually building it up over a week or so.
