I am a customer not a tiler!
My architect wants to lay limestone tiles directly on to the screed which is a sand and cement mix with the UFH pipes in it. This is laid on a solid concrete base. The screed has SBR and some fibres in it. My worry is that the limestone tiles with all their natural flaws will crack as the heating causes expansions/contractions.
His concern is that the floor will not be as heat efficient and there is a lot of glass potentially creating a lot of heat loss. He wants me to sign an agreement that some tiles may crack and still not use the DITRA.
Does a Ditra laid floor take ages to heat up? How likely are my tiles to crack if I go along with his Plan?
The floor is about 9mx 7m.
Thanks
