Hi there I have started tiling onto chipboard and I'm using dunlop flexible set fast plus with flexable additive for added flexablity. Now I have tested most of the floor for movement and the client has hired a joiner to take care of the major parts with too much movement.
There is an overall problem, the joists have a 10mm layer of foam, perhaps used to sound proof the joists from making noise to the neighbours below. Now the foam give a bit, say 2mm or so when pressed directly from the joist.
The job is 112sqr mtrs of offset tiling, ceramic 50*50 with 4"*4" mosaic offsetting at the corner of each tile.
My main question is, although im flexing everything up material wise, will this suffice for such a large area and 'hard to tell' movement?
Assuming that there is 1mm of movement all of the time after the job, should flexable adhesive and grout be good enough?
The other option is the more expensive one, using 2part flexi/liquid mixture and beleive me it costs more than the tiles, even when discounted.
So, please help if you can because the job is on hold until I have confidence.
Thanks in adv. Rab78
