That would be my first thing to check.I think you need to set your tiles out in both directions that joint is on substrate change and use dural microjoint or coloured silicone instead of grout .

That is also an equally important consideration imo.How big is the area with the caber floor? Is there a possibility of filling it in? To prevent any bounce as that is where your going to coma across with problems
How do you mean as there is ufh under timber . Do you mean take out floor and screedHow big is the area with the caber floor? Is there a possibility of filling it in? To prevent any bounce as that is where your going to coma across with problems
Yes thatnis what I was trying to say but without pictures it’s hard to gauge, maybe pump a liquid screed ?How do you mean as there is ufh under timber . Do you mean take out floor and screed
It would be hard as you would have to get a Dpm in there . I would say remove flooring , joists and ufh before digging out then starting to put things back together .Yes thatnis what I was trying to say but without pictures it’s hard to gauge, maybe pump a liquid screed ?
I wonder how many builders get structural engineers calculations on that before loading the joists up with screedThe underfloor heating is already installed by the builder between the joists. It is set in a tray which is then filled with screed to transfer heat. It's quite popular as it allows you to put underfloor heating on second floors. This is obviously a ground floor.
Certainly can't fill underneath the caber flooring.
My plan is to hardie backer the floor then ditra matt it. I know it's a costly option but it's the only way I can see of ensure it's stable enough so it doesn't crack?
