825x550x20 limestone on underfloor heated suspended 12mm ply

[bugs183]

I've done it once.
A friend of mine was saying how brilliant this new system was and that he was using it on my next job, and that he thought i could tile directly to the boards with no ply etc.
I check with the Tech Dept and couldn't believe the non sense they told me regarding the 6mm plywood.
He said it's too late, it has to be tiled, so i devised the above method.
It has worked, but i'll never tile another job using this u/f/h/ system, way too dodgy.

Hello Ajax, thanks for your reply. So you suggest to walk away? Surely a simple letter waiving responsibilty for defects due to movement would suffice in court?
Or do you believe you have a solution to the above problem? H
"Do it right" isn't a solution.

Sadly not mate. A proper legally binding disclaimer is likely to b ten or twelve pages long and will need to be written in legal terms. You are the expert in the client tiler relationship and as dave Howe has said if you knowingly do it wrong you would be liable. Sorry

And just to help you come to the right decision, when/if the floor fails, you will be held liable and be responsible for all the costs incurred in the remedial works. I would thank them for the opportunity to quote but would turn the job down.

So you didn't mean a suspended floor as per your first post. You meant a floating floor?

yeah, sorry, it rests on the trays and is fixed to joists, spans 670mm between inlaid timber.

Bugs183, trust me, after the last one I was made to do, I'll make sure I'm happy with this one.
Cheer for your help anyway.
