Floating floor will you or won't you

[Flintstone]

Recently been through this, tilemaster advise overblarding with 18mm wbp ply, or 12mm hardie /nmp. Then tiling with ultimatel flex.
I didn't do the job but that's what they suggested. I wouldn't go any less spec than that if I was you

But What about the thousands of houses with kingspan or jablight under there concrete floors though? Shirley theres much more weight with concrete on top so thinking logically the concrete floor would compress the kingspan more ?
before now ive fastened down the floor with screws etc , hardied and tiled .

I would fill my pants panicking I would hit a water pipe or a lecky cable doing your method...

That's true, but a thick layer of concrete doesn't sag and bend like chipboard. Plus it fills and dips and gaps.

Just a question for those that have tiled on this type of flooring did any of them have matting UFH if so what did you use to cover the matting prior to tiling.

 

[Flintstone]

What else would you cover it with other than slc ?

My thoughts were the same but just asking as there might have been some thing else I was unaware of and more suitable in this instance
