    Tiling Bathroom Chipboard Floor Floor

    Hi, I was told that the bathroom chipboard floor has to be laid with plywood of at least 9 mm thick, before tiles are laid. In my mother's house some ago the bathroom chipwood floor was overlaid with 5mm plywood. Is it mandatory standard to use 9mm ply on bathroom chipwood floor? Thanks
