So, I ordered too much cable length for my ditra heat. To make it work, I alternated 3-2-3-2 studs as Schluter says you can. I made sure I stayed 7in away from toilet drain centerline, but i still had to run cable under where my vanity will be. I kept 3 and 4 spacing under the vanity to keep heat from building up. I know Schluter says not to put the cable under the vanity, but the bottom of my vanity is open. Will this be okay or should I order new cable? Do you see anything else wrong with my layout? Thanks in advance.

With that type of vanity, it is more like of six or eight leg piece furniture on the floor. I would call up the manufacture to double check that it is OK.

Yes, that's what I was thought. I did call up Schluter and they said that there will be no problem with having the wiring under the vanity. Thanks for the input!

The issue is when whatever is over the floor warming is enclosed. So, a more typical vanity that had an enclosed bottom would be an issue whereas one with your legs and air can flow, isn't.

I'm a little late, but it is because of the humidity and be careful not to damage your furniture like this. I had this problem in my apartment and I just destroyed my furniture. Only after I changed my windows I solved the problem. I needed to buy new furniture and I thank a lot these www.nyfurnitureoutlets.com guys 'casue they provided me the furniture that, once, I was just dreaming about. The quality of the furniture is on the top. If you need some help just text them, they are specialists in this domain.
