Laying tiles on expansion joints

Hello everyone,
in our open kitchen, living, and dining area on the ground floor, wood-look tiles are being installed. There are two expansion joints throughout the entire ground floor. How would you handle this? Decoupling mat necessary or connect the tiles at the spot with silicone? I would appreciate your feedback.

Plan the joints with tile and screed layers so that they fit the laying pattern. The joint between the tiles themselves is then silicone.

Interesting topic. What if the screed grid becomes too large in both directions and therefore expansion joints are installed at a 90° angle to each other, then you can only align the above-mentioned wood-look tiles along one of the joints, the other one then cuts through the installation pattern. :-( Therefore, I am also grateful for good ideas regarding the question from Iasa64.

You have three options:
-decoupling mat
-lay the tiles at the joints and seal there with silicone.
-(For joints in more than one dimension) use square tiles instead of rectangular ones or, in the case of exactly two joints meeting perpendicularly, place the tiles at the joint intersection and continue laying from there.

As for the joints, you can present the construction plan to the tiler in advance and have them make suggestions for the screed layer installer, which you then finalize with the latter.

We do have cross joints, but we also coordinated the layers of the expansion joints with the screed installer and the tile setter.
There are expansion joints (DF) in the screed; the tiles then end at the height of the DF.
The tile joints were grouted with normal hard grout.

Holds wonderfully (but is not standard-compliant, as the tile setter pointed out).
However, it saves a sill in the floor joint. In case of a defect, it is simply re-grouted.

If the screed grid becomes too large in both directions and therefore expansion joints are installed at a 90° angle to each other, then you can only align the above-mentioned wood look tiles to one of the joints; the other one then cuts through the laying pattern. :-(

But you have to have that case first. In our case, this did not apply at all; there is only one joint in the open living/dining/kitchen area in the middle of the room (otherwise we placed them all on the door thresholds, no one sees that anyway), but it runs in line with a wall and could therefore be planned accordingly.
Otherwise, the magic remedy would be anhydrite screed instead of cement screed.
