Floor tiles will be installed in the bathroom and kitchen.
To prevent water from seeping downward through potentially leaking grout lines or cracks in the floor tiles, a liquid, elastic, waterproof screed should be applied beneath the tiles. An additional layer can also be applied on top of the screed.
It is important that this top layer on the screed can withstand vibrations from passing trucks and the movement of beams in older buildings, and that it does not become porous over time. I have seen something like this before but cannot recall the specific product.
Perhaps someone here can recommend a product.
Thank you

Ready-to-use, single-component, highly elastic, waterproof liquid waterproofing membrane for walls and floors, used in combination with tiles and slabs. Suitable for interior waterproofing according to DIN 18534.
Is this what you have in mind?
I’m not sure if it can withstand truck traffic, but bathrooms with level-access tiled showers are treated with this.
For example, Sopro FlächenDicht flexibel

Here, however, it probably makes more sense to use a waterproofing membrane, as it is somewhat more crack-bridging and flexible. Usually, something like Sopro AEB 640 is sufficient for private use. If you want to be absolutely mega-super-duper-overkill sure, then use Sopro AEB HD 958 as the waterproofing membrane – it is even approved for forklift traffic, including when driven directly over it.
Hello questioner.
"wp.seeker" offered you a practical solution for this.
Sure, you can also use suspenders alongside a belt to prevent your pants from slipping down. However, this is usually considered excessive.
The same applies to the concern that a waterproofing layer beneath ceramic tiles, as described in the DIN 18534 standard series, would not meet the requirements in your house.
If the crack situation in your screed is so unusual that standard waterproofing systems fail and only a membrane waterproofing can be used, then the screed was likely not installed correctly.
However, I assume the screed was properly installed.
Therefore, a standard waterproofing system below the tiles is sufficient!
