I’m nearing the end of a kitchen/diner extension/garage conversion and the builder has said that we have a floating floor. House is about 30 year old.

The plan was to tile it but the builder has said that you can have problems with a floating floor as it moves and will crack the grout. He spoke to his tiler and he said he wouldn’t tile a floating floor.

I’m a bit annoyed that it’s got to this stage before it’s been mentioned as I don’t know what to do now! There’s a new patio door been put in on a south facing wall so it’s going to get a lot of sun! I was originally looking at LVT but apparently that can warp in direct sun light. Assume laminate isn’t the best for a kitchen due to the moisture?

Any ideas or suggestions? This has just topped off a really crappy week :(
