Really this web site is unmatched. I would like to know exactly how thick the aluminum portion of Quik Trak is. Is aluminum thick enough to avoid the heat striping that is common with gypcrete embedded pex tubing, or is it little thicker than aluminum foil? Are there suppliers and installers in the Southern New Mexico area? How much help are there in those areas? Hi, Gary, Thanks for reading!

I want to put the radiant heat myself where can I get the supplies. Dear Sir, I would like to have an estimate for the whole house.

Please respond. Bath almost complete, just need to get the drywall up and kerdi on for tile guy to come in and finsh. Sorry I am not the tiler but after doing all the demo down to replacing floor joists, foundation repair, plumbing, radiant heat, electrical and sheetrock I am remodeled out! Hi Ed, Just make sure the tiler follows the Kerdi installation instructions. You can ask here or send them here if they have any questions. Installed the kerdi yesterday, much like installtion of wall paper.

My question is: How do you know is kerdi is adhered to the wall? Not having any experience with kerdi how do you know if everything ok? Experience with wall paper is that if it looks ok with no obvious bubbles then it is adhered and ok. Guess time and tile will tell. What I did learn in this process is that you do not need to apply joint compound to the butt joints of the drywall. This actually makes the installation that much simpler. I used kerdi fix at tub to wall joint to embed the kerdi and not sure that this is completely necessary as applying with thinset on wall for kerdi band install was pretty messy.

The thinset may provide good joint at this interface and then the tile to tub seal with sealant being adequate for water tight joint. Will update thread with some pictures as soon as charge the camera batteries. Here are some picitures of the kerdi install. Seems that all areas adhered well. I did find one area that is about 1 sq inch that seems to have no thinset under it, should I slit and kerdi fix?

Anyway see pictures for what they can tell. I can't see where the un-bonded Kerdi is. If it is well within a section of Kerdi more than 2 inches away from any seam or penetration , and you tiles are 4 or so times bigger than the unbonded area, I wouldn't do anything.

Kerdi is waterproof with or without a bond, and there would be sufficient support for the tile without the 1 square inch of thinset. Really can not see the section that is not adhered but you can feel it and it is 6 or 7 inches from membrane edge and is not "bubbled" but lays flat.

Tile will be 4x8 subway tile. So will leave and bridge with the tile. Delta faucet with 4 in sq opening. Does one use kerdi fix to adhere kerdi over the opening with seal to valve cartridge? Assumption is the tub spigot and shower head get a covering of kerdi that can be kerdi fix-ed to wall and pipe stub.

Besides, you want to maintain access to the valve's innards for any future maintenance. The valve's trim plate has a gasket to keep water out, and you can add clear or color-matching caulk around the permeter, except for a small gap at the bottom. Did some searching on drilling, toilet flange etc and did not find any specfic answers to a question I have on drilling porcelain tile.

Floor tile gets grouted today and will shortly be installing toilet flange. Left to very last to have flush with floor however, what is the best to use to drill holes for securing flange to floor. Diamond tipped drill bits cooled with water will do the job.

Carbide masonry bits and a hammer drill are the quickest way to crack your tiles, so don't be tempted. Have added new foyer to my old house renovation. Sun room floor is concrete with radiant heat and foyer is standard wood frame construction level with kitchen floor renovation.

I want to lay tile porcelain in foyer and new closet. There is about 2 feet of closet floor that is below the concrete level. Will level up floor by adding appropriate plywood to bring level up or fill area with self leveling floor underlayment. Also one day want to finish entire sun room with tile and not sure if you can make height difference between ditra and rest of tile floor with the thinset while laying tiles. Hi Ed, : I would run the Ditra over the entire area to be tiled.

With 2" to play with, you could just fill it in with deckmud Probably less expensive, too. Adding bathroom with radiant heat. Have used Uponor Quik Trak and from reading thru various posts know Schulter does not recommend ditra in this application.

I will therefore use CBU and would like to minimize the transition height between bath and adjacent room. No performance difference between the 2 sizes.

They both do the same thing. Provide a excellent substrate for tile. You can look up the PSI data for the material you are installing and also look up floor strength that you need in terms of PSI and then design for it and you can use any material but the thickness and weight increases and that is mostly the issue.

Ed, While you are at it, you might want to have a testing lab cast some mortar cubes to insure that the compressive strength of the mortar between your plywood and cbu is adequate:smash::rofl:.

Ed is not parking his car on his bathroom floor. Why would knowing PSI on cbu in this situation be needed?. So adding cbu to a substrate improves PSI so the question is whether the net PSI is high enough for the suggested application..

Plywood has much higher PSI for the thickness than cement board and that is what I was implying The poster is an engineer apparently and so he will be able to figure it out otherwise I wouldn't have said it Tesa, What do you suggest the non-engineer DIY'er do? What should the DYI'er do if he isn't using cbu? I want to know more about this radiant heat "Uponor quick trac".

If not, the manufacturers all recommend the use of their thinner product for floor applications. We can give it a more generic title any time you'd like to suggest one.
