| Feb 23, 2023 at 14:30 | comment | added | FreeMan | Frankly, owning an apartment is very common in NYC (and maybe other large cities), too, but not so much in the rest of the US. Also, yes, locale matters a lot which is why we so often ask for that in the comments. Rules (and their level of enforcement) vary widely around the world. | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 14:25 | comment | added | yo' | @FreeMan Yep, I own it :) (dammit, I wouldn't have thought how many things are different in different parts of the world! Here, owning your appartment in a big house like this one is very common.) | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 13:47 | comment | added | FreeMan | I presume that this is an apartment which you own and have the rights to make such a significant change. In the US, "apartment" usually refers to a rental, and renters don't have the rights to make major changes such as this. Your use of metric indicates you're not likely in the US, but it's always good to confirm these things. | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 12:45 | comment | added | yo' | @JimStewart Supervisory what? (Sorry, I'm not in the US, in case that's a US thingy.) Yes, I know that adding a heating like that without proper paperwork is very borderline here, but I certainly won't be the first one to do it as a DYI, with an electrician coming later to wire it. As for the work, sorry, but this is not a tremendous amount of work, certainly not for a 2m^2 room :) | |

| Feb 23, 2023 at 10:45 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Just remember for heat to travel there needs to be a temperature difference. | |

| Feb 23, 2023 at 10:36 | comment | added | yo' | Approx. 3mm is the fixing rail (fixed directly into the concrete), 5mm is the cable thickness, and that'll be within 20mm of the levelling concrete. On top of that 10mm of tiles (and some glue). So altogether it's sligthly more than 2cm of material above the wire. I'll clarify. | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 10:29 | comment | added | Solar Mike | So is the thickness 2cm or 3cm? 10mm for the tiles and 2cm some cement stuff or not? Without insulation under your heating panels you will be heating that concrete slab, which if the below neighbors keep their bathroom at a lower temperature will increase your costs.. | |
