Thanks for advice Andy, this was my first thought and sounds like the safest bet I think but very mixed views on this one!.....

Its basically a floating floor n we all the mixed views we get about them.. Just lost a decent job today (41sqm floater with ufh) cuz I insisted the lot had to come up and rebuilt with joists and noggins, someone will end up tiling it

Hello all,

...the floor really is solid and there is just no movement or no hollow areas.......I also took some kickboards off and got chisel underneath but could not budge this oak floor, really solid, has been down for 3 years and no warping across the floor.......


Cheers

I can only advise on your description!
All jobs are different and its your call - or that of an experienced tiler.

To add : it's not like a floating floor.

Oh maybe i misinterpreted the original post, I read it as boards were only glued together not glued down, as in floating..

personally I would have the wood up .

nobody seems to be concerned about how this oak has been treated, product wise, and is it ok to adhere to tile adhesive or AF 200

Lol!.......eh up AD Ceramics, where have you been hiding?.......have you been keeping s low profile since you got told off last time you were on the forums!

Anyway mate just reading through Your post and that is exactly what worries me mate!.....what do you think about mechanically screwing it into the concrete like gamma says??.....but this won't stop any warping if it occurs will it?

Thanks for the feedback.....surprised by the mixed comments on this one......interesting chinwag

Well seems all you guys have put in the effort regarding this discussion, whatever I make on the oak I'll put it towards some training courses for us all on tiling onto timber floors !
