    Tiling over plywood substrate

    Hi. The walls in my ensuite are coming along well... Just thinking about the floor now. The original tiled floor was tiled over thin sheets of plywood. The ply was on top of T&G chipboard. Is it ok to tile on plywood? I seem to be coming across articles or posts that suggest not. Ta. D

    Paint-on tanking products for floors

    Is it correct that paint-on tanking products for a floor require more than one coat, with subsequent drying time between coats? If that's the case, would I be correct in thinking that a waterproof matting product adhered to the floor timber before tiling is quicker to put in place? Thanks.

    Floor preparation - suspended floors

    Sorry this has probably been discussed to death here in the past but... I have been preparing suspended floors by over-boarding with 6mm backer boards then applying a decoupling membrane. I understand this to be the method for chipboard floors but is this excessive for say, tongue and groove...

    It's all about the bays.

    Anyone who's tiled with quarry tiles, or pilks 4 square or similar will know how easy it is to run out of line. Sure fire way of keeping your tiles stright..... We used to fit boat loads of smaller tiles this way back in the day. Brought back memories tiling this job yesterday. :)
