    I thought you would have done spacey
    Bloke I’m working for didn’t think was going to be a problem at all. Has turned up thrown/(floated) 15 bags of NA straight over it at approximately 6mm
    Before he started, I said looking at the kitchen that has been done previously it would need to be up by at least 10mm

    He went for it hell for leather, and unsurprisingly quite a bit of the webbing is showing through etc.

    In the morning he’s wanting to float another 15.

    Is this going to work or just asking for problems when it’s switched back on

    (Sorry for long spiel)

    Looks like it’s it

    If it is it’s in the wrong place

    It needs to be under the mesh between two heat cables

    Don’t use water based screeds they don’t stick to the orange tape on the mesh

    Floor needs primed before the mat goes down preferably not the primer that’s suplied with the mat it’s crap
