week 32: underfloor heating and tiling gets underway...

This weekend I was doing a last minute dash to lay Devi underfloor electric heating (100 watts per m2) in the bathrooms and cover with self levelling compound before the tilers arrived on the Monday. This was a job that the tilers were going to do but I figured I could save a bit of money and push them on by doing it myself. On the whole it went pretty well but sometimes the cable didn't adhere well to the subfloor despite pva'ing it before sticking down the heating matt and then they occasionally floated up through the self levelling which made the depth of the self levelling hard to gauge. 





Then on Monday the tilers arrived. We bought a moleanos beige honed limestone tile from mandrian stone. We decided to keep it simple and use the same stone for floor and walls in all three bathrooms. Tilers started on the floors. They amazed me by wanting 25 * 25kg bags of adhesive. Even more amazing was that they used all but three bags!



Em's shout with the orientation of the tiles which was a great call. 


Then following days on to the walls and the the boxed out units


They SCP tiling did a great job on the whole with very nice work around the windows as seen below.


 We are very pleased how they turned out.
