Hi,
Around six months ago I managed to find me a tiler from these forums and he tiled the entire ground floor of my house. The job was done as follows with his recommendations -
18mm Marine ply screwed down at 150mm centres with a 5-7mm gap between the plys filled with a flexible silicone
Ardex AF200 laid down with a 6mm trowel
Ditra Mat on top of that
Nicobond S1 Rapidflex tile adhesive
600x600mm and 400x200mm porcelain tiles used.
Nicobond Flexible Grout Plus
I've recently noticed that the odd tile has a bit of bounce in it as it's not stuck down firmly, one of my kitchen tiles is sinking and the grout in general has started to crack in my rear extension kitchen.
Here are a few photo's of that dodgy kitchen tile
This is driving me bonkers as to why it could be happening :dizzy2:
I didn't turn the UFH in one go, I turned up the thermo 1C per day until I got to 25C.
It was snowing at the time and the house had no heating, could the install temp be a problem? I raised this with my tiler at the time but he said it wasn't an issue.
Any ideas gents, your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Indy
