Hello everyone,
in our new single-family house, we want to lay vinyl in the living areas on the upper floor. Now we have reached the topic of transition profiles.
We have the expansion joint in the screed behind the door frame. Here I would also install the base rail of the transition profile.
I did some research online and read that you should never screw a base rail into the screed core if you are using underfloor heating.
The problem that you might possibly drill into the underfloor heating pipes seemed obvious to me. However, we have a screed thickness of at least 7 cm on the upper floor. The pipes are max. 2 cm thick. The dowels/screws for the base profile are 22 mm long. As long as I work carefully with a depth stop, there should be no problems here, right?
I also have photos of the installed pipes, so I can estimate where it is safe to drill and where not.
Or are there other serious reasons against a screwed base profile?
Thanks and regards
Julian
