[QUOTE="Dan, post: 975889, member: 1"] The tiles, although brand new (and mainly when brand new) tend to have transit wax on or biscuit dust from manufacturing. Stones often need sealing. Ceramics sometimes need wiping. Porous tiles skimming to fill the holes. Just because they're new it doesn't mean you can get 'em straight out the box and whack 'em down. But as said above, the screed having no expansion joint where the two meet means if ones moving when the other isn't, the lateral forces can pop the tiles up. It wont be on the joint. Can be anywhere where the weak point in the tiling is. But the forces occur due to the lack of expansion joint. Or so I believe. I'm not a tiler these days. ;) Wrong adhesive used perhaps IMO. Did you get a few tiling quotes in? Is this person who did the job an actual tiler? Do they have a good reputation and / or qualifications or anything? I doubt you'd win in court if you were trying to sue somebody who isn't a tiler that you got in to do tiling. [/QUOTE]
