Onlinetiler | Videos | A Professional Tilers' View On Tiling

here are some more pictures from a job I am writing a report on, my conclusion is the floor has failed due to inadequate floor construction ,no support peers under the suspended floor allowing deflection and the use of osb board as a substrate adding to the problems of bounce in the floor where the boards meet i can move the boards up and down from eachother ,there is ufh but thermal shock isnt the reason why this floor has failed but if I hadnt crawled under the floor and cut out all the adhesive how I tell? I agree with Adam's conclusion with regards to his job and thank him for posting it, I was just hoping that there is an easy way of knowing

excellent blog how did you come to the conclusion its thermal shock?

Hi Gary,
As Phil mentioned earlier there's that residue on the back of the tile, I did take the cracking along the lines of the wire as a sign as well and also took into account that the whole floor is delaminating - i only popped one tile off to take a look.

The big give away tho - I asked the client :lol:

Is this job with the OSB the same as the casalgrande one above Gary?

Dear Onlinetiler,

It's been 7 days now since my last fix and I'm not coping well with it. I seem to be checking your tumblr site nearly hourly in hope of my next fix. Though the fix is always small, it always keeps me going for at least three days. Perhaps you could sort something out for me and all the other addicts?
:yikes::lol::lol::lol:

Stunner. He really can't help but rant! haha.

Somebody was lucky enough to dodge the stupid tax this time. I guess it should have been the plumber who got the stupid tax on this one but I can see why that wouldn't have been possible to apply. Fair enough.

Too right!

I've left the thread in the main tiling forum to ensure potential customers get to see a bit of a tongue in cheek moan or two to help them see what we really need to deal with.
