I may have this in the wrong forum but i didn't see a form on tiling.
I'm about to install the Suntouch heated floor system - essentially heated wire embedded in a mesh. The floor i'm installing it on is 5/8" plywood. Normallyl before i would tile the floor i would staple down 'chicken wire' and then lay down thinset. Question i have is this......
is it okay to just staple the heated pad into the plywood and apply thinset to it....or should i do this in 2 layers. That is, first layer being the chicken wire covered in thinset - let it dry - then laydown heated and cover in thinset again.....
I did see some "1 step" video where they just put the polymer cement on top of the wires and plywood and then layed the tiles on top.
Any help would be appreciated
