See if anyone can give pointers what went wrong.
Got following setup:
Anhydrite floor dried for 2 years (fully dry).
Water underfloor heating - comissioned prior to start of tiling
Area - L shape with longer dimensions 7 x 7m (does not exceed 8meters in any dimension)
BAL Prime APD used to prime screed
BAL Rapid Mat
BAL Rapidset Flexible Adhesive
Weber Joint Pro Grout
Large format porcelain tiles (600x600)
Job was done professionally with no issues and solid bed used throughout.
Underfloor heating comissioned very slowly 2 months after job completed.
At about 36deg water temperature, noticed a crack in one of the tiles and small cracks in grout throughout - cracks in grout are hardly visible but they are there. Grout otherwise seems stable.
The cracked tile is on the external corner and had to be cut to L shape so is obviously weaker.
Grout is however cracked in number of places. Shouldn't the Rapid Mat have prevented all of this?
