Discuss Concrete to wood subfloor in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Recently had an entry addition put on my house. I’m wanting to tile the floor from the split level stairs to the concrete entry way, I know I will have to use backer board on the plywood subfloor at the base of the stairs but how do I ensure Its level across the old doorway and into the concrete entryway? Will I need a soft expansion at the transition? And will I need to put a membrane below the tile on the concrete to keep it level all the way across? I’m planning on using ceramic tile if that helps. Thanks
