[QUOTE="Tile Fix Direct, post: 952151, member: 51166"] In addition to Paul's comments, bed thickness is a factor and with the increase in size of ceramic tiles the bed thickness is likely to increase. With the increase in bed thickness we can expect an increase in shrinkage and potential crazing. Other potential contributory factors is the desire for narrower joints and the widespread failure to provide sufficient provision for movement in wall tiling. Frequently tiles are virtually butted together in internal corners resulting in an insufficient gap to fill with silicone. Background maturity is another factor that could possibly contribute to crazing.Timber framed houses probably being the worst example, there have been suggestions on tiling forums that timber framed houses should not be tiled for 6 months to allow for movement to finish. Tilers in this area are reporting that there are cases of timber stud work moving and causing 20mm humps & hollows which if even a fraction of this occurs after tiling, crazing could result. In our experience high gloss tiles appear to be more prone to crazing (or is it you cannot see crazing on mat tiles?). The artisan style reactive gloss glazes appear most prone. [/QUOTE]
