Expansion joints

[paul83finlay]

Hi guys

I am getting a floor done and was wondering if it will need any expansion joints? the floor is rectangle 12m in length 6m wide at one end and 4m at the other. There is water pipe under floor heating which has all been screeded by a company using a type of top of the range screed that is super flexible. The tiles are to be a travertine modular pattern.

look forward to getting some good advice on this.

Cheers

Paul

Heated tiled screeds should have an expansion joint set at between 4 to 6 mtrs ... so for your floor bang in the middle of the length..

As Dave, perimiter expansion as well?

Heated screed + travertine, I would want an uncoupling membrane too.
