large format tiles on floating floor

[psychowitch]

Hi,

quick question,

got to quote on a new build downstairs kitchen floor which is covered in chipboard, I believe its a floating floor (feels like it lol!)

Guy would like those famous 600x600mm bq tiles laid ..I have real concerns about laying these tiles on this type of floor.

I would of course put down backerboard or 12mm ply first with a flexi adhesive but its a really bouncy floor and needs to be very flat, im hesitant ... any thoughts out there.

thanks in advance.

Just walk away and let someone else have the hassles. I turned one down a few weeks ago.

or Lino
