Weep holes, snake oil? Maybe.
So tiler and builder here this morning.
Eventually a tiled terrace will get some moisture under the tiles. We do have a good slope. 2cm per meter over 5meter depth. Along the 10 metre width are 3 expansion joints.
Read here:- Uncoupling Theory Parts One and Two. Either use sand or a matt. Movement is inevitable.

So we are where we are and will only know if this system works after 10+ years and the tiles are still uncracked and firmly in place. Hard to be certain how old the previous tiling was but it was deteriorating when we moved in and the house was 12 years old then.
Still pi$$ed off that the builder spec'd the wrong edging profile. I have more faith in the tiler knowing his stuff than the builder when it comes to the tiling.
Ho hum.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
cheers
