I have not bought this before, so I don't know. I do see another active thread that's going to do something similar

Post in thread 'DYI Hearth pad - In order: 5/8" plywood, 1/2" Micore 300, 1/2" Durock, and ceramic tiles'

Yesterday at 11:39 PM

Oups, you got me thinking about the exiting floor.... Yes 1 5/8" screws would be too short indeed because I also have 1/4" plywood under the vinyl.

So a better choice would be: #9 x 2 in. Star Drive Torx Bugle Head R4 Multi-Purpose Wood Screw (110-Pack)

Highlights​

• For use in wood, particle-board, cement fiberboard, plastic, sheet metal
• Star drive eliminates stripping for improved productivity
• Zip-tip point eliminates the need to predrilled and provides easy starts into wood
• CEE thread enlarges hole to reduce splitting, thus eliminating rework
• W-cut...

• Gmarcil

He's in Canada. Maybe it's available there? I do see that it's at some of the online fireplace stores. I found an online fireplace store in Logan OH that offers Micore 300. I sent them an email to find out if that is something they can ship to me?

It does say between the micore and tile or stone or whatever there needs to be a layer of cement board. That would make the thickness an inch plus the tile. Would you think cement board between the Micore and the concrete floor? And yes, I've read that thread.

I'm not sure but if the concrete is properly flat, I would think it's not needed to add cement board below the micore.

The floor is well flat. I wish I had a way to truly heat up the cold concrete floors. I've looked around and it's too bad they didn't consider heating them while the house was being built. I suppose thats the case in all slab built homes. The kitchen floor is the worst with just tile down it radiates as much cold as the woodstove radiates heat.

I’ve seen retrofit hydronic systems. They are neat but pricey.
