[Kyle Knowles]

I've got a job roughly 70 sqm it's on new 22mm ply with wet underfloor heating it's all solid and level I'm just concerned about cracking due to the expansion and contractions can u use ditra over underfloor heating on ply I know u can use the tile master mat and the bal rapid mat
Any tips and advice would be much appreciated

The 70 meter area consists of 40 meter kitchen 20 meter utility room and 10 meter downstairs shower room do u still think I need a expansion joint ?

[hmtiling]

Not if the areas aren't joined.

They are joined would u put expansion joints the door thresholds? And in the 40m kitchen ?

Would u use a rubber type expansion joint ? I've seen dural make a kinda silicone u can use as a expansion I've just bin reading the literature
