That is how I used the product twice. So far so good, the tile still went on as normal. Hope that helps.

Yes. It can be used. It is a solid product for the price. However, if you are installing below grade over concrete. I personally would opt for a heavier barrier. It is rather thin. It worked beautifully in my situation and the price was excellent. But my install was over subfloor and above grade. Anytime you install below grade you have higher moisture. That is why I would recommend a heavier barrier. It will cost more. But you will be glad you went with it.

I used it underneath a maple wood floor in a gym. The purpose of the material is to create a vapor barrier.I do not think there would be a benefit to put it under ceramic tile.

Yes, I have it on my bathroom floor. I have an older home so do not want ceramic tile or the weight and expense that goes with it. I did install the stick down tiles myself and the quality is very good.

It may be possible to do so, but mine is mounted on the wall and tiled around (tile first, but leave one side untiled so the cornerpiece can be slipped into place without fighting the tile, unless you have huge grout lines). The tile should dry first because the cornerpiece needs to be held in place with tape while it dries in place. I really like how it looks.

We under-mounted ours...I thought it could be done both ways, because when the granite people templated our counters they asked if I wanted it dropped in or under-mounted. Also, you wouldn't have to put white caulking around it if you dropped it in, they make a very nice CLEAR caulk that you'd never even notice. I have it around other sinks in my home.

Hi Martin, Definitely - this is just a simpler (cheaper and faster) way of installing a corner bench compared to building a full structure. Whether you purchase this bench or build your own corner bench structure, you will need to of course ensure you have waterproofing membrane in place before installing the tile.Hope that helped.Kind regards,Grant

It is not recommended since you would generally install it with thinset. If you were to manage it you would risk the tile behind coming loose as well.

Instructions say to pour floor leveler directly onto mat. Then add your thin set and tile. You can also put down cement board first, but not needed.

If you used this outside I would keep it up off the ground with a shelf that fit the whole width and I would put a fitted waterproof cover over it . You could waterproof whole item so that it would not absorb moisture but I would still cover it.

The concrete basement floor that I put it in on was pretty uneven and it worked great. If there was an ubrupt change in elevation or large gap, I could could see that being a problem. I wouldn't put any padding or pre-floor.

I'm not sure I would pour concrete over this due to the rocks and pebbles. It would probably be fine, but I wonder if the aggregate could cause pressure points on the heating element. I embedded the heater in a layer of mortar to level the floor before putting tile on top. I think I would do the same before pouring concrete over. You don't want too think concrete over it as it just increases the thermal mass and time to heat up in the morning or evening, unless you leave it on all the time.

No, regular thin-set mortar is perfectly OK to use on this, just tile right over it - you will have no problems. I have used three of these in several bathroom re-models in my home with no problems.

If you want to install it on tile, you can but your going to have to drill into your tile and you need to be careful you don't crack the tile when you do. Plenty if information out there on the net on how to drill into tile for install. I had installed this bar in a rental with tile, but I used Gorilla glue to hold it on so that when I left I could take the bar down and scrape off all the glue leaving no evidence behind. It stayed up for about a year and a half, then started to come off so I just glued it back up there again and it stayed for another year and a half until we moved. Came off with a razor blade with no trouble at all. Gorilla glue is not the best job for a permanent install though.

you need to tie in / anchor down the walls along the perimeter. if you can do so on your tile, you will be ok.

I don't know if you can put these over old tiles. We enlarged bathroom so we needed extra tiles. You should check with manufacturer if these tiles are designed for the shower. I really like the color and I am pleased with the quality of the tiles.

Once it's stapled down and flat. Pour a floor levelor over it. Approx 1/2" thick then you can tile over it.
