Hi all, new to this forum and looking for advice / reassurance.
I'm getting my hallway tiled and it's an old house, built circa 1900. It still has the original floorboards and after getting a few quotes, the tiler who can do the job says I only need to put down anti fracture mats over the...
I purchased porcelain floor tiles 900×900mm while setting out the tiler and noticed a slight line in the edge of a tile. Laying it on a flat surface he tapped the tile gently on the line and it cracked. The tiler believes this to be a stress fracture from the manufacturing process. Which is due...

I’m trying to find out out how long it should take to lay Tilemaster antifracture mat.
The area is 80m2 and has been levelled with self levelling compound.
Many thanks

I'm fitting a walk in shower this week and it is the first i've done!
I'm read up and taken in all of the information on here i hope. I've pulled the existing sub floor up to install the drains and move pipe work and for ease I was going to ply and over board with PCS boards.
