You guys put so much effort into these videos - I hope you continue to grow on youtube, you really deserve it. Thank you for your uploads and please dont stop. Bunch of top blokes

[@AQABNAWAZ]

Really high quality work throughout all the videos. Very impressed!

[@MarcusT86]

Fantastic video. I can’t wait for you guys to upload more and more videos across a range of skills and trades!

[@isabelmariavalades1407]

Another great video I like the way they have explained all the tools and materials being used 👍👍😊

[@TheNomadicTrader]

I've chosen these very style tiles for my renovation

[@MarcGray1990]

Great video and great workmanship.... my question is how do you get over a high point in the floor if there ever was one. Using these clips surely would raise the tile up off its adhesive bed a slight amount causing it to not be completely adhered to the floor? Obviously on complete flat or bellied surfaces this would be fine. Just wondering about possible high points is all. I’m sure you have come across this. Thanks. Marc

[@afrog3569]

Nice, I'm installing the same tiles right now.

[@BuildWithAE]

Have fun 👍

[@MBHOMEIMPROVE]

Awesome work mate

[@danielmasic4951]

Cracking job Guys! John how do you prep the floor for tiling when on a timber floor, do you usually hardibacker first then anti-fracture Matt it?

[@mata2618]

Nice to see a tiler do a proper job, spent a fortune on a tiled floor in the bathroom which 6 months later has now failed and now have tiles which knock every time you walk over them. Have no idea of how to go about getting it fixed besides ripping the tiles out and getting it redone. Seems like there was poor adhesion between the tiles and the floor and having a crap tiler.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi M Pat you need a Greg, thanks for watching, all the best Tony 👍

[@BODGE71]

Nice tiles. Whos the manufacturer?

[@TheNomadicTrader]

Thin coat the matting to cover the underfloor heating and let it set - then if you need to lift a tile in the future you stand less chance of damaging the element 😉

[@yeoGlover]

I thought a 3mm grout line was minimum you could have with UFH?

[@ajb7]

I was taught to jiggle the tile a bit perpendicular to the teeth to help flatten the bed, is this not recommended?

[@ianwitton8992]

Adhesive used S1 .. slow or rapid set

[@simonstones1918]

You got your own channel Greg?

[@gdfggggg]

Clip system is great but to be honest most people wouldn’t even notice a 1mm lip on a tile, you’d have to get on your hands and knees to notice it.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Slashley gibbins, you are probably right, but Greg, our tiler is a perfectionist which I love, we all have so much pride in what we do, to give are clients the best possible job, it also gives you personal satisfaction to see a happy client 👍. Thanks for watching, Keep Safe all the best Tony

Great Video, what tile leveling system did you use, there are a few on the market

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Bob, Greg uses the Perfect Level Master T-lock system, and as you've seen in the video, it's a great product. Hope this helps. All the best, John 😊

[@mattsidebottom7603]

i used a tile levelling system for my floor. but was gutted when i tried to knock them out none of them snapped cleanly. it took ages to clean the joints out

[@michaelmajor4450]

i wish every floor i tiled was as flat as that a lot of them were up and down before tiling you put a 6 foot level on the cement or wooden floor some were like a see saw

[@krisrickson853]

Top job lads, looks nice. 1 question though I noticed he dropped a 2mm spacer inbetween the tiles at 6:00 minutes in, which will be grouted over isn't this bad practice to leave spacers in the grout joint or have I heard wrong? Just a question mate no criticism 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Kris, The spacers Greg has used are designed to be left in place and thoroughly grouted over. They hold tiles in place without compressing to create consistently even grout lines. They're plastic also so they don't perish. Many thanks 👍

[@krisrickson853]

@@BuildWithAE thanks for the reply, you learn something new every day 👍😁

[@martincook6318]

You do know that a flexible adhesive doesn’t bend. It’s polymer additions allow it to stick to vitreous surfaces not to flex with a moving floor.

[@pauldolton9118]

can you use the orange mat on a concrete floor?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Paul, You can use this system on a concrete floor as far as I'm aware. As always, please check with the manufacturer before installing. Hope this helps. All the best, John 😊

[@RyanF99]

Are them electric heat mats worth it? Do they use loads of electric?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Ryan, Electric are great in certain applications Small areas were water systems struggle to heat the space Plus application ability. Efficiency I believe most good quality electric mats are efficient. Plus you can turn them on and off for a shorter window of heat time because the heat transfer time is quick than water. Big areas we always use water systems Hope this helps All the best Tony

[@RyanF99]

Nice one thanks! Is it easy to fit?

[@BuildWithAE]

Ryan Fortune Hi Ryan Use a qualified electrician to do the work. Connections also to check once you have laid the mat system to make sure you haven’t damaged it laying it. Always follow manufacturing guidelines also speak to there technical if you need further advice, and yes electrical can sometimes be easier depending on the application. Thanks Tony

Thanks Ian 😊👍

Can you carpet straight into it? I'm thinking of putting this in my living room

[@BuildWithAE]

Hey bud. Unfortunately not, underfloor heating should only be used under hard floors. Many thanks

[@5N19ERG0D]

@@BuildWithAE thank you so much for replying. I'm a big fan of the channel. Could you please tell me what adhesive you used to stick the mats down and what adhesive you use to latest tiles. Thank you

[@BuildWithAE]

@@5N19ERG0D Thank you, we're really glad to hear that you like the channel. We use Britflex slow set S1 adhesive.

@@BuildWithAE Great job guys. What m2 coverage do you get from a 20kg bag on this ditra heat floor?

[@davinci234]

Amazing artisan workmanship no offence to our eastern European builders but they should follow the proper skills before taking on any building works.................

[@Hussain-ch3pr]

You have more 'British' cowboy builders compared to your Easter European counterparts. These guys are an exception, not many about. I had one Easter European tiler do some work for me, he did a proper job compared to an English guy I had work done from before. Moral of story, don't paint everyone with the same brush.
