[QUOTE="Gary99, post: 985142, member: 59056"] Hi guys, I have installed ditra heating mat with electric underfloor heating over a 35 square meter area in my kitchen area (rectangle shape, empty room with no kitchen cabinets). I also planned out where the heating wires were to go and not go in regards to kitchen cabinets not sitting directly over these once installed etc. I have since tiled the whole area as it was an empty room with 600mm floor tiles and ensured perimeter expansion of 10mm and the job looks fantastic. My concern is, have I made a schoolboy error here with tiling the whole kitchen floor area as when I come to install my kitchen cabinets over the tiles that the shear weight of the kitchen cabinets and certainly the weight of the 30mm high quartz stone worktops will stop the tiles from expanding under the feet of the cabinets to the perimeter of the room. My kitchen cabinets will be installed on one side of the room with a peninsula breakfast bar area. Any thoughts would be appreciated and if there is an issue with my installation then what would be the best way to rectify this as I don't want the tiles tenting or cracking etc as I have spend a lot of money and want the installation to last a long time. Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Gary. [/QUOTE]
