Hello,
help! I've torn out the entire basement, plastered and replaced the ceiling, etc., and now I've come to the underfloor heating installation. I've concluded that the best option is to lay a grooved polystyrene on which you then lay the tiles "directly." My area is about 120 m2. The problem is that the installation seems to cost over 180,000 kronor (material + labor). Then the tiles need to be laid as well...it certainly sounds expensive. I know that the type of polystyrene where you can lay the tiles directly is more expensive, but this feels very pricey. If I use a type of polystyrene that requires self-leveling compound, it requires about 3 m3 of the compound, which also costs both in terms of material and labor. Any tips?

The cheapest solution is to buy hose and pipe lists for embedding (http://golvvarmebutiken.se/Vattenburen-golvvaerme/Foer-ingjutning).
Then you pour self-leveling compound on everything. I paid just over 30.000kr for 3.6 m3 of self-leveling compound and pump.
This, of course, assumes that you have laid insulation under the new floor!
I have LK EPS 16, styrofoam boards with 1mm aluminum sheet on top. Material for just over 180m2 (for two floors) cost 120.000 kr including pipes, boards, distributors, waterproof cabinets, and wireless thermostats as well as all connections.
I laid it myself and have tiles directly on the lower floor and parquet planks on the upper.
Keep in mind that it costs an additional 10-12.000kr for adhesive for 120 m2 if you choose LK because you must use Kiilto Flytfix for the warranty to apply. As far as I know, LK is the only one that "allows" tiles directly on the boards...
