We are having our living room ( approx. 450 Sq.ft.) carpet replaced with 20" x 20" porcelean ceramic tile in our condo in Fla, total cost is $4300.00.

The floor is concrete and the contractor will reduce the price of the installation by $1000.00 if we do not have him install the "SAM 3 crack suppressor". He recommends this to protect the new tile from existing and possibly future cracks forming in the concrete floor thus affecting the tile.

Is this the real deal, or is it just a cost that is not really necessary? Any information you have on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
