hi Guys,
Please could you help.
I have employed a professional tiler and I'm a little concerned and don't know how to tackle it.
Basically I have had an area of 144sqm of underfloor heating installed and we haven't had the heating on yet. The screed was laid 3 months ago so should of fully cured by now.
When I was receiving quotes from the underfloor heating firms one told me I should be putting an expansion membrane between the tile and the screed if I wasn't turning the heat on before the tiles?? Also he said it would help with the expansion anyway as it was such a big area??
1. Is this correct? 2. What is it called and where can I get it from and the big one 3. Why hasn't the tiler asked me for this??? I don't want to just confront him as I am a tradesman and there is nothing worse when a customer tries to tell a professional how to do his job??
