Floating floor

[DHTiling]

lol.... I thought a floating floor was the tounged chipboard over joists.. lol il look it up

That is not floating , floating means not fixed as in no fixings holding it down and they are laid loose onto insulation for some stability ... hence the term floating.. they are glued at the joints to prevent board separation.

oh i have seen a post before about someone wanting to tile onto a chipboard floor on joists that wasn't fixed... that's why i have thios assumption. so when screed i put down on top of insulation would this be referred to as a floting floor? cheers

In theory yes but more commonly called a warm floor type.. a screed has to be a certain depth and will not deflect like a floating chipboard floor will.
