Hello

Had a 80-100 mm sand/cement screed laid over 75mm insulation in a 6 m x 4 m conservatory. Company doing it did not add any reinforcement or fibres (even though their quote clearly states reinforced with mesh) :rolleyes:

Does it need reinforcement? Info varies, some say as its 75mm+ it doesn't :?: Had some cracks appear after commissioning the UFH, nothing major but as I'm spending a lot on tiles I'm worried they may come up in the future :confused:

Fibres would have been useful but no biggie.

We had a large floor screeded with UFH beneath complete with fibres, expansion around the edges, decent (100mm) depth etc.

Still cracked when the heating was tuned on. :rolleyes:

However, the cracking is unlikely to effect the bond of the tiles.
