i have a conservatory floor which is 33 sq mts in a L shape
It had a level screed over the pipes and was. very flat as laid with a laser, backed up by tiler who said it was within 1mm all over.

I used a proffesional tiler and was laid with mapei? Both tile and grout cement.
The floor was laid in 2017 and after a year the tiles started cracking by both doors, a double set each end.
Then last end of 2018 we got a couple of cracks in the middle across about 4 tiles.
There’s no difference in height or it’s less than 1mm, it’s like the surface has cracked so I don’t know if it’s expansion or heave.

Every thing was done by the book reguarding commissioning and materials, I kept the stated pressure during screening as I had my own pressure tester.
It is on constant during the winter at 21 dog and turned off in the summer, the conservatory gets sun morning and noon and in between it gets some sun

Floor is 4” polystyreneslabs pipes laid on top, screed I can’t remember but was the standard required for that type of floor. 07DD712C-86B6-49A5-B62A-622B93423A1B.jpeg
