Lighthouses - metal slats, we will set parallel to each other from the farthest from the entrance wall of the bath room.The level of penetration of screws determined by the position of the laser beam on the surface of the screwdriver.

Set beacons for floor leveling

Lighthouses - metal slats exposed to a pre-laid out a handful of solution.

Set beacons

place them so that they touch the bottom, and was based on the previously exposed our head self-tapping screws.

With the construction level aligned location beacons

Check horizontality exposed us beacons using a spirit level.

Note the beacons that cross the heating cable.Later on, after pouring, we will remove them so that under them there were no voids in the screed layer.

Placing beacons on the heating cable

Pour mixture is kneaded for ties.
