[QUOTE="Ajax123, post: 971397, member: 12267"] Movement joihts in Sorry bad day. Was a bit rude of me. In terms of the physics putting the joint under the door depends entirely on which side of the door opening the door sits. The joint in the screed should always be placed on the side of the threshold which has the largest dimension in order to avoid a larger movement causing restraint. So if the door goes from a small corridor into a large living room the joint will be flush with the walls forming the threshold on the living room side.. if that door subsequently opens into the corridor it's likely to be on the corridor side and the joint is in the wrong place. If the door sits mid threshold the joint is still in the wrong place. Putting the screed joint mid threshold would be pointless as it would not work. It's not laziness that puts the joint there its physics. If the door sits the other side then it's always going to be wrong for the tile joint. One solution I've seen work loads of times is to use a piece of anti fracture mat across the doorway bridging the joint. A sort if localise crack bridge. The tile stuck to that will allow the screed to move laterally without the tile itself moving sort if like a slip joint where starter bars are used in concrete. One side is stuck fast the other side slips so the concretd can move without fracturing. It's not how anticrack mat should be used as it should be across the whole floor and I doubt you would get a spec from a manufacturer for it but it has worked countless times. It does rely on the screed being free from vertical movement. [/QUOTE]
