Expansion joints in plank flooring - TilersForums.com

[Chichono]

Good evening

Im a professional bathroom fitter and have good experience in this field but not large floors. Can somebody give me a few pointers please.

I've a large L shaped kitchen/diner the has a traditionally screeded floor with a wet underfloor heating system. I'd like to lay some porcelain plank tiles and am aware of the need for uncoupling and expansion joints. Broadly speaking how big can your bays be before placing an expansion joint. The main part of the room is 8m x 5m, the whole area is around 65sq.m

Thanks in advance..

Use an expansion joint on the L junction in the room.
