Hi guys,
I'm tiling my kitchen/dining floor in a few weeks. It's a bigger area than I've done before and will need a movement joint, which is where I'm after some advice.
The area is L shaped with a 7.5m x 4.5m section (single storey extension) and a 3m x 4.5m section.
The sub-base is anhydrite (Gypsol) with wet underfloor heating.
Tiles will be 20mm limestone 500mm x FL, laid on Tilemaster anti fracture mat, with 3mm joints.
I have seen the many aluminium profiles available but would prefer the more blended in look of a soft joint, but how are these structured for such thick tiles - I was thinking of a 6mm soft joint with 10mm compressible backer rod and Silicon on top. Does this leave the Silicon too thick though? Could I put 2 backer rods on top of each other or am I overthinking this whole thing?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks
