I have recently had a quote accepted for various works following water damage including tiling the kitchen floor with ceramic tiles. (25 square metres)

Due to the amount of water in the concrete floor, the surveyor has specified Delta FM airgap membrane, covered with 30mm Wedi, covered with electric UFCH and ceramic tiles.

The customer has now asked to have the floor tiled with B&Q travertine tiles 305x305. I have not worked with these particular tiles before and I am concerned about them breaking up. Due to the floor construction, there may be some flexing. I am happy with the original specification of ceramic tiles with flexible adhesive and grout but I am concerned that the B&Q travertine may not be up to the job. It has to be cheap for a reason.

Does anyone know how strong these tiles are and whether they are suitable for this application?
