Hi there,
One of the builders I tile for has done his latest build as a timber frame house rather than traditional build.
The tiles are 600 x 300 polished porcelain, broken bond. Normally I use Bostic/Biscem Stoneflex for these tiles on a traditional build but Im wondering if I need something stronger as I am not sure if a timber frame build will have more movement.
Im told in general timber frame builds tend to move as a whole downwards but no idea if this is true.
The stud work is a little wider, 600 rather than 400 but they are using 4x4 timber rather than 4x2. Conrete backer board in wet areas and 15mm waterproof gypsum.
Any advise guys?
Many thanks
