    When Do You Uncouple?

    I'm not sure what British standards state but why take the chance of putting cement in contact with gypsum when they are not compatible unless you create a barrier between the 2?

    Thoughts On B&q Tiles…

    the hd printed are from 'British ceramics'? if so, the only thing British is the print and glaze. i believe the tiles are made (very poorly) abroad and then finished and packaged here. all bent like bananas! simple rule which stands true - you get what you pay for.

    Important Changes to Tiling Standards

    I've edited the thread title so it helps people find it. A good thread and one that will save a lot of money for a lot of people. Personally I've seen that many threads on failing floating floors I think I'd just not risk it and recommend they use laminate flooring or something instead.

    UFH Heating, Wood Effect Tiles, Grout Sizing?

    British Standard recommendation 3mm minimum for ceramic floor tiles. Question should be do you need to make joints wider for tiles of this size and heated floor? I would answer no, I don't think so but you must put in movement joints to de-stress the tiling.
