Quarry tiles onto earth bed.

I recently did the innovation work shops and was really impressed with the their products and their technical knowledge good bunch of guys there

My only concern is not driving moisture to internal walls...

Tel call to schluter asap.

Schluter are bang on with situations like this.
Could you tank the intersection between floor and the walls, and not grout the perimeter allowing the floor to breath that way.

Tanking will not stop the moisture at the walls , there is no DPM in the walls either.. the house is built onto earth.. it needs to breathe and efflorescence is not an issue to the customer.. they will live with it if required to.

Mmm, i see your point. I'm not sure how breathable the Beko system is. I'm on the wetroom course at Schluter next week so i could ask if you like, but you know the building, so i would only be guessing.
Is this a listed building???
You could always contact Heritage and see which systems they have used

Heritage say a breathable membrane. Hence the first question. 🙂

 

[bugs183]

Yea but which membrane and what kinda screed etc????
That's what i mean, put the ball back in their court and see if they can answer your questions.

 

[DHTiling]

That's it they don't say. Limecrete is one but you cannot cover with a none breathable covering.

Was hoping some one had come across this as we have 1000's of old buildings getting tiled.

What about a screed on a DPM as normal modern stuff but then to prevent damp n the walls drill the walls and insert an old fashioned ceramic tube damp course. See these in loads of old houses d own this neck of the woods.

I am going to pass this back to the customer with some suggestions lads.. they are only concerned about not having damp driven to the walls..
