So the tiler completed the tiled floor this morning, covering the heating wire and adding a list of do's n dont's. Assure me please that its going to be OK and not expand/split/crack the joints etc.

We've got underfloor in our kitchen and 3 bathrooms, all tiled. Works fine and not too expensive to run as long as you keep it low enough and not cranking. Feels nice in the morning to stand on a warm floor. I try not to think of the Polar Bears I'm killing though.

We've got electric underfloor heating in our kitchen and conservatory. As long as you are not expecting it to actually heat the room then everything will be fine. They just stop the tiles being too cold on the feet that is all.

I had underfloor heating in Korea, I think it was gas powered though.

I could get my floor so hot I couldn't stand on it comfortably.

Korea Fighting.

Don't be tempted to switch it on before the time suggested on the instructions. The adhesive needs time to cure properly. Early energisation [i]could[/i] result in incorrect adhesion of the tiles.

We put it in our bathroom (wooden subfloor) and tiles over the top. No issues at all.
To be honest it's now just left on the 'holiday' setting all the time, doesn't need to be any warmer.
