    Alright lads, got a little job wth a sunroom in Karndean coming up and am thinking on using F46 rollered out and looking for opinions as was mentioned can be put over underfloor heating. I always do things by the book prep and fitting wise but am pissed off with high temp as I don't like. I would black out windows, prime ply, spread roll and fit tiles slightly colder. This is only a small job and I am going off their adhesives and just want the floor to stay put no matter the adhesive. Any ideas?

    Sounds about right to me.

    When saying fitting the Karndean colder, it needs to be colder than the rooms average temperature not colder by a few degrees of what the temp may be in there the day of fitting.

    And yes, F46 is actually the recommended adhesive for fitting over underfloor heating! Defeats the point of HT really ! :D

    The one you seen me using was part of a Tramex set i have. However, i did purchase one off ebay for cheap and it works spot on side by side with the Tramex one.
