[QUOTE="Ajax123, post: 988641, member: 12267"] Underfloor heating should never be air pressure tested. It should always be tested when water filled. I assume you mean 75mm and not 7.5mm. Tiles should never be installed until AFTER the underfloor heating has been commissioned and run. It is not essential to uncouple porcelain but given the size it would offer some benefit. Screed should be split into maximum 40m2 bays with full depth movement joints in all door thresholds and between independently controlled zones. Movement joints are impossible to form after the sceeed isinstalled. If he says he has never had problems with cracking he's either never done it before or he's lying. Movement joints in screeds should be minimum 5mm and up to 12mm THEY should extend through the full depth of the screed. If they do not they cannot take account of expansion. These should reflect through the tile face. Minimum grout joints (these are not movement joints) should be 3mm. You can place kitchen units on top of tiles but obviously you will use more tiles. The advantage being if you change the kitchen at a later date you don't need retiling. [/QUOTE]
