It is a thought lee.

Here is a scenario.

£30,000 kitchen fitted, customer had no plans as yet for floor covering.

4 months later they decide on tiles , chipboard on joists , the kitchen cannot now be removed , what do you do ?

I have a question......knowing what we know about chipboard.....why is it still being used in tiling installs?

I had a plumber once tell me you can tile onto chipboard ,it was in an en suite , but its get better he even puts chipboard in shower cubicles , then tiles it! I Told the customer you should get rid of your plumber , they weren't to happy as he's been recommended by a family friend , two months later the client rang me to repair everything , lol!!!

Simply case i think lee is the same reason they use tubbed adhesive on builds. Cheaper and easier to handle.
