My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Winter building - tile

7 years ago

We are in Maine building our home this winter. We have a slab with in floor radiant. We will install tile throughout the house.
There are very particular mortar setting temp requirements & apparently the radiant has to be off before & 2 weeks after tile installation
Thoughts on maintaining slab temp about 50 without radiant?
