[QUOTE="MW Smith Ceramics, post: 806669"] Just a quick one , So I've got a 75 metre floor coming up, existing kitchen, hall and utility with solid quarry tiles that we are taking up back to concrete base then 80 to 100mm sand & cement screed to the extension about 30 square metres ( no underfloor heating in the screed ) so the builders are bringing new floor up flush with existing.......now the client wants the floor laid ASAP after the screed has gone in ( this is a must ) so this is the method of fixing I'm looking at doing as follows...... Tiling onto the existing concrete with an S1 adhesive then on the new screed laying Schluter ditra mating with an S2 adhesive up to/not over the joint between old & new floors and putting a Mapei mapesil mastic seal movement joint in about 5mm as I'm using Mapei ultracolour grout the mastic is a bang on match....a little wider than 3mm joints in tiles and laying onto the Schluter with an S1..... My only concern is the tiles are natural slate opus Romano pattern so the movement joint may be an eyesore!!.....any thoughts / advice on this one would be really helpful Thanks [/QUOTE]
