If there is a height issue from using the 12mm ply then you can use 6mm backerboard but he floor needs to be solid and not a lot of deflection....Stick it down with flexi adhevsive and then when dry put some screws into it with appropiate washers....then it will be fine to tile too......
You can get Hardie-backers boards and the fixings from CTD.....they may have to order these in , ,just depends upon the store.....They also sell all ther materials you will need to do the floor with......good luck and welcome to the forums fergie.........

 

[fergie]

is it as strong as ply or would you advise using ply if there is no height issue

My honest opion mate..!!! I prefer ply on floors..maybe just me..but if i was to use backer board on a floor then it would be no less tham 10mm..hope this helps.....
