Hi,
I am about to tile the floor of our new extension, approximately 44 sq metres (9.5m x 4.6m) plus utility room, with porcelain tiles – 500 x 500, 500 x 250 and 250 x 250. The floor was screeded 2 months ago, and has (wet) underfloor heating, which at present is not connected up, and is unlikely to be for some time.
I have been reading up methods/opinions on this (great) site for some time, but still have a couple of points on which I would appreciate your advice.
I realize I should probably use flexi adhesive and grout, but given the underfloor heating, should I also use a uncoupling membrane such as Ditra?
Expansion joints: do I need any, and if so, how is this done?
Setting out: given the different tile sizes, do you have any tips after establishing centre of the room. There are three doors off the main rectangle, one leading to a utility room 3m x 1.5m which will be tiled and one into a pantry 1.2m x 1m which will also be tiled. The tiles will end at the 3rd door.
Thanks for any help!
