[QUOTE="linearpancakes1, post: 988385, member: 60678"] Hi folks, We're having our downstairs tiles installed soon, about 82m2 of 1.2x1.2m square porcelain tiles onto an anhydrite liquid screed, with UFH. We've had reasonable quotes from two tilers, but they looking to do things a little differently, and we're not sure on the best approach. Both are looking to use Durabase matting. [LIST] [*]Priming / under matting adhesive. One is looking to use 2x layers of primer and a cement based adhesive. The other is looking to use a single layer of primer and Anhyfix. I suspect both options are fine, but opinions welcome. [*]Expansion joints. We don't have any in the screed itself, as we understand it's fine not to with this type of screed. It has dried nicely without any cracking, after UFH on too. One is suggesting to line up tile joints with doorways and have colour matched silicone joints, and really stated the importance of this to avoid cracking. The other said there's no need due to the decoupling matting. This one I'm not really sure on. [*]Grout. One is suggesting using epoxy grout, the other regular. From what I can see, the epoxy grout, if colour matched, looks like a good option for durability, at a little higher cost. [/LIST] Thanks for any insight you might be able to give! [/QUOTE]
