    Default Moving joints

    Potentially got a 42m2 floor to do hallway running into kitchen then into extension. Hallway and kitchen have a concrete base, extension is chipwood and sitting at a lower level so will over board to bring it up.
    I assume I need some kind of moving joint were the two substrates meet, never used a moving joint before so was wondering about the setting out of the tiles, is it best to have a full tile either side of joint and if so how does this affect my setting out (if you know what I mean) ie for best cuts.

    set out from the joint, full tile either side and work back to the door, might take a bit of jigging around, but if you can see it from the entry point it wants to look like a natural flow into the room.. the joint could be filled with a similar coloured sealant to the grout..or if preferred, a manufactured movement joint.

    Sometimes its not possible to set out either side of the two surfaces with your tiles might, not work out for best cuts, but as previously mentioned you must put a silicone expansion joint where the two surfaces meet, then lay dural ci matting this will alow for any lateral movement, and tile over as normal.
