Floor tiling with steel mesh sub floor?

[Deleted member 43753]

I used to lay tile onto wooden floors using expamet quite a lot years back.It was very sharp stuff when cutting with tin snips so sometimes a bit of claret here and there lol also multipe hammering of staples to fix it to the floor ..no gloves or knee pads hardly used!!!all health and safety issues these days suppose

By you must be searching the archives to go back 7 years.
On timber T&G you would put a waterproof building paper (membrane) down first to stop the moisture in the semi dry mix falling through the gaps.
Good thread and nice to read Jays input - sad days!
