Pipeline..........here is a quick synopsis of tiling....IMO

Flexable adhesive......ain't that flexable...
self leveling....don't self level.....
ditra.....don't solve problems in the substrate...

Every job ia different pipeline. There's no one method or peoduxt that suits every scenario

^^^^ a bit like predictive text Ali lol!

Lol. Trying to get used to the tablet key pad mate. My fingers are too fat!! Ha ha

 

[AMtek]

Uncoupling membranes are for lateral movement caused by expansion and contraction of the substrate not for vertical movement (bounce, flexion or whatever you want to call it)

 

[AMtek]

And if there is bounce in the floor backer boards shouldn't be used to cure this, that isn't what they are designed for

ok..taking out theres no bounce or height issue between rooms..ie customer don't mind the extra that hardi will give.

solid floor no bounce...chipboard.... Ditra or hardi
solid floor...old house..bit unlevel... floor boards...ditra or hardi.
