http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/12 en-us 60 <p>Bob,</p> <p>Always nice to match a voice to the text! Glad bumping the system up a little made a difference for you. As far as insulating between the joists, it definitely won&#8217;t hurt. If anything comes up feel free to give me a call again.</p> <p>-Seth</p> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:06:45 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:12:69 slavigne http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/12 <p>Seth, thanks for the info when I called on getting the floor warmer. I have a natural slate floor over Ditra and setting the temp to 85 was ok but kicking it up to 90 really made a difference in the surface temperature of the floor, not hot, buy very comfortable now. I&#8217;m going to try to insulate a few joist spaces in the floor below (it&#8217;s a heated room below) to see if that helps any more. The floor is installed on 2 layers of 3/4&#8221; plywood.</p> <p>Bob</p> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 15:36:09 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:2:12:68 simpsonb http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/2/topics/12 <p>Bob,</p> <p>I&#8217;m glad that everything went well for you!

I&#8217;m on to setting the stone tonight!</p> <p>btw &#8211; this was my first heat mat installation and it was pretty easy. I appreciated how the mat laid pretty flat to the floor, it made it much easier. I ended up skim coating the mats with Versabond Flex modified thinset and letting it dry, then the Ditra a few days later.</p> <p>Bob</p> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:21:25 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:1:12:27 simpsonb http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/1/topics/12 <p>Bob,</p> <p>I contacted Schluter about your question, and they assured me that there would be no issue using Kerdiband over your heating system. Kerdiband has no thermal mass, and will cause no problems transmitting the heat.</p> <p>I hope this answers your question. If anything else comes up, please let me know.</p> <p>-Seth</p> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:31:34 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:1:12:26 slavigne http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/1/topics/12 <p>I have my heat mats installed under the Ditra and I understand that the Ditra only slightly slows the heat up process of the floor, after that it&#8217;s fine.</p> <p>My Question is, where I seal the Ditra seams with Kerdiband, will that affect the heat in those areas? I don&#8217;t want cold spots where the Kerdiband is installed and it happens to be in the middle of my floor. I don&#8217;t know if the band will act as a thermo barrier.</p> <p>I haven&#8217;t started to lay the stone yet so I can pull up the band if necessary.</p> <p>Thanks<br />Bob</p> Sun, 03 Feb 2008 14:06:03 -0000 forum.warmlyyours.com:1:12:24 simpsonb http://forum.warmlyyours.com/forums/1/topics/12
