In my conservatory, I had a new floor laid in December. The tiles are porcelain 600x300. The so called tilers raised the floor about 3-4 inches. They did it by putting 3-4 inches of adhesive on the screeding. They did not use spacers to create gaps to be filled with grout, but laid the tiles butt up against each other.
My dilemma is this: fearing the tiles will one day crack with the heat and cold of the conservatory, do I pull up the existing tiles and have the floor re-laid?
This will mean ditching the costly tiles and buying new ones and paying a professional tiler to do the job, all at great expense. If however due to the amount of adhesive used, if it is unlikely the tiles will buckle or crack, I am prepared to live with the lack of gap between them. Or, is this a false economy and I should have them removed and new ones relaid correctly?
Any advice appreciated.
