Grout Enhancing floor tile grout
Was just going to post about the same scenario, I've got about 80 metres to do and was hoping not to have to re grout, presumably the mapei only works with mapei grout, as this was done with ardex fresh snowdrop, any other recommendations out there, cheers matt- Mattash99

do any other tilers do this
It was right there, waiting to come out, but best to be quietly smug when the phone goes -

do any other tilers do this
That's exactly what I've done, explained it all, and the need for the ufh mats to be fully covered, there call, wished her well, although I can't see it ending well, but there you go. Cheers for the input, always a great fountain of knowledge -

To be honest, both. Thought there was a certain tolerance of slc that had to be over the wires -

do any other tilers do this

Grout joints cracking
Enough pressure to crack the grout, but not enough to move the tiles, maybe, you think that would move that much over 5metres without any hairline cracks appearing the tiles?? Cheers for all your help by the way -

Grout joints cracking
The wet side has been left on, as the floors are they're only source of heat for the kitchen/diner, i did think of that possibility, but the cracks have spread about 5 linea metres from the joint and not all over the floor, probably still 70% of the floor, but not in continuous joints -

Grout joints cracking
No expansion joint, but can't see as that's the problem, as the tiles are still solid. Is there a way to see if the UFH has been switched on, as my betting is there's too much heat emanating from the mat, but then I think the tiles would sweat and then blow, so I'm still fairly confused -
