Hi everyone I need some advice from the collective mind.
I've tiled a kitchen floor which has water UFH the tiles were 30 so metres of 1200x600 porcelain the adhesive was single part flexible rapid, grout is bal flexable grout i also fitted idrobuild anticrack matting i used a 15mm notched trowel and buttered each tile prior to laying. Now comes the problem 2 tiles cracked both tiles were check outs at different corners of the room. I replaced those tiles and 2 weeks later same thing has happened again same tiles I replaced previously plus one more around the island again another check out. Also customer is saying the grout has cracked all over the floor. To be honest I'm at a loss as to why this is happening its obviously something to do with expansion from the UFH but I've not had this happen before and I've been a tiler for 38 years. Customer is looking for answers to why its happening and I have none so any thoughts you may have would be welcome
