    Who's making the invictus anyways??

    Could just be poor material and cant take the warm floor unless she's whacked it up to 50degress o_O

    It'll a combination of the UFH Low compression strength compound and All the weight from the table transferring to the small surface area of the wheels.

    Not much you can do apart from change some damaged tiles and Recommended they use caster cups

    Its not poor Its design to be low stress hense its soft

    You need to use a higher compression strength If you know theres heavy item going on the floor Most water bases are very high Latex mix tend to be low with the odd exception

    Bare in mind when you use a high strength compound the sub must be sound and solid No contamination ie old adhesive residue and no movement or it will crack and potentially fail

    Wet UFH systems are often hollow sounding and have slight movement so High strength isnt always an option

    Is that because it has a higher newton strength when I have a dodgy floor I use na low think it’s 4 but I take it thats to soft

    NA is 16nnm when fully dry It is very soft but that's why it works on problem subfloors
