Large floor

Punctuation and rearrangement of words may help me understand this a little better

sorry, the point i was trying to make is that if a floor failed and tiles are fixed correctly with expansion joints then it's the screeder's fault and the fixer shouldn't be liable.
That being said, i wouldn't do it without decoupling unless it was a screeder i know and trust(2!) on a heated screed.

I just wanted to clarify my thinking, I'm not saying that DITRA not good.
it is only a surplus for this type of work, in all my works, I have never seen cracks in the tiles or customers who call me for problems.
many times I have taken responsibility that not even the customer and the 'plumber, they wanted to take, but the floors after years are still there.
also say that lately, new types of screeds allow you to perform tiles even without expansion joints on UHF. (See my recent works performed).
the landlord, building engineer, told me that this type of screed, tiles allows up to 100 square meters without expansion joints.
other constructor, are at least three years that no longer wants expansion joints on the doors, for now he is right, later with time we will see if he exaggerated.
For me yes.

actually the only thing we as tilers have to do is perfom the service with reasonable care and skill as said in the consumer rights act 2015

Good point about new screeds Antonio. I agree, new anhydrite screeds are supposed to have next to zero movement. BUT! I have seen plenty of them crack and it will be down to the idiots who are installing them badly. That's why I insist on Ditra.
Italian floors may be better installed than ours?!

but frankly to me the rights of consumers I do not care much.
I follow the rules UNI, (made by assoposa and all others, including BS), each non-regulated procedure that I do, it is always accompanied by signed cards.
although they count for little or nothing.
in any case, in our work, some risk sometimes you have take it, otherwise what fun is it? ahahha joke, joke.
probably until now I was just lucky. 🙂

no, no, wait.
I'm talking about sand and cement screeds, non anhydride.
Here anhydride, is nonexistent. and the argument made above, is invalid, for anhydride.

here at the max, is liquid screed, cement, non-anhydride.
and the speech, it gets more complicated. if it is a low thickness, I impose DITRA immediately.
