Hello,
We want to install a kitchen with an island in our new house. What is the best way to route the electrical supply to the kitchen island? The problem is that the connection point is located on the opposite wall in the room. Additionally, the floor structure including underfloor heating is already installed, but the screed over the underfloor heating is still missing.
How can I get electricity to my kitchen island?
I also have a general question. Is it generally possible to lay cables along the wall within the screed? I would like to install a home network and need to run some CAT7 cables for that.
Best regards

Yes, I understand that. Was the screed completely cut through down to the insulation underneath? Or just a groove cut into the top of the screed?Just a groove. However, I would leave that to the professional.
Yes, I understand that, but it does not change the fact that the procedure does not comply with any standard.
I assume the cable was not protected against the additional heat from the underfloor heating? Or a special cable, which the manufacturer states is suitable for installation in heated screed, was used?

However, I would also leave that to the professional As a non-expert, I’m repeatedly puzzled by the professionals! The DIN 18015-3 standard is actually quite clear. From the perspective of screed installation as well (although I’m not familiar with the standards there, only with an information sheet), this kind of thing is clearly not permitted.
Honestly, I’m not sure whether such standards, information sheets, guidelines, and the like represent mandatory requirements or are merely recommendations, and whether professionals can basically do whatever they want. Or put differently: What is the professional actually obligated to provide to a private client or buyer when nothing else has been agreed upon?

I would cut into the insulation, maybe carefully remove a narrow strip, then lay two cables (5 x 2.5 and 3 x 2.5) inside a conduit within the insulation, and then put the strip back as best as possible and seal it tightly with tape—that should be sufficient.
The cables can easily handle 35°C (95°F), so there’s no need to worry about any special precautions...
