we lay ditra or durabsae on all floors to safe guard our work...flexi adhesive is to keep your tiles bonded and not to protect against cracking....expansion joints should have been installed in the correct places when the screed was laid an mirrored when the stone was laid....i have seen these problems too many times when a builder thinks he is a tiler😳

hi jason

the very fact the cracks go in both directions as you say, clearly shows this is expansion issue.

if it was a structural fault, the crack would be in a straight line. its a clear case of not comissioning the ufh correctly and not implementing the correct expansion measures.

it goes without saying ditra would have helped but its the other issues that have caused this to occur imo..

best of luck with this jason
