Hi everyone.....im new to the forum and I'm looking for some help and advice please.
I tiled a small (14 sq meter) kitchen floor with UFH (water pipe type and approx 75mm below concrete surface) approx 1 year ago.
Perimeter is allowed to expand, quality flexible self levelling compound and adhesive used. At the time I decided to not use an uncoupling membrane considering the small area and perimeter.
Tiles were laid correctly in a solid bed.
However there are now multiple hairline cracks appearing throughout the floor and an unhappy customer......the hallway was tiled in the same manner with zero issue.
Am I at fault here for deciding against an uncoupling membrane or could this b an issue with the screed underneath.??
Hope ye can help thanks. Peter.
