Hi,I'm hoping there is someone here who can offer some words of wisdom. I have a bungalow and approx 2 yrs ago i had my hall tiles with porcelain tiles approx 28 sq yards.
last year one of tiles inside front door developed a crack and recently is chipping.i know i will have to replace this one but much to my horror i've recently noticed that on the width of hall the grout line has cracked from wall to wall and in an area near my hotpress grout had cracked and the crack has travelled across a tile and back into grout this has happened in two separate areas quite near each other at hotpress, also in this area a tile appears to be lifting at one corner and is quite noticeable.
I'm puzzled as to the reason for this?is it problem with tiles?floor? or the adhesive or grout that was used. it is puzzling that it is in separate section of such a large fllor area. myself i feel it may be connected to hotpress but am not sure what.
the tiler has tiled my ensuite, kitchen and utlitty and there is no problems with any of these areas or his work, he seems puzzled about the cause
Any body got any ides?
thanks
