Learn how to successfully specify the underfloor heating systems that best suit your projects, with expert insight from Schlüter-Systems. This RIBA Approved CPD seminar focuses on the modern advances made in this popular arena, discussing hydronic and electric technologies and their capabilities.

• Benefits of modular screed systems vs. traditional screeds
• How to save assembly height without compromise to strength
• Water fed vs. electrical underfloor heating systems
• How modular screeds can save time, money and materials
• Theory behind modular screed systems and why screed movement joints are no longer needed
• Electrical underfloor heating and utilising integrated uncoupling technology
• Capabilities of underfloor heating systems and their ability to run at reduced temperatures

This seminar explores wet room installations at the design and specification stage. It will discuss integrated vs. multi-manufacturer combined systems, design and how point drains and linear drains can be hidden or accent the design, waterproofing requirements and how an integrated system can offer complete peace of mind, technology and the difference between waterproof systems and water-resistant systems, understanding the risks, and further considerations such as lighting, acoustics and undertile heating. 

• The solutions available for tiled wetroom installations
• How to specify integrated systems
• The applicable British standards and relevant Building Regulations for tiled wetroom applications and design considerations
• How to identify key design considerations when specifying wetroom systems.

• How to incorporate in-line with the British Standards for tiling
• Why movement joints and uncoupling matting prevent typical problems - there’s no substitute for good preparation
• How to select movement joints and where to locate
• Uncoupling mattings explained - what, why, where and how?
• The science behind and the benefits of modern uncoupling systems

Enhance your understanding of how to protect bonded installations of tile and stone installed on balconies, terraces and patios, with expert insight from Schlüter-Systems. This RIBA Approved Seminar explores how to counteract the stresses of the environment and achieve functional assemblies.

• Benefits of a fully functional assembly system for external tile and stone coverings
• How to provide protection from cracking, splitting, tenting and debonding of the covering
