Hello All,
Thanks for your help in the past - the granite floor I laid in our small bathroom is looking great. I used a flexible adhesive for this - one of the expensive BAL rubber ones I think - and no movement.
My next project is the kitchen floor. Much bigger expanse - 5.4m x 3m, so I was not going to risk the adhesive direct on the old (1960s build - but secure) T&G floor. I was thinking and from what I have read on here
1; Screw down floor boards more to ensure movement is restricted
2. Lay 6mm Hardibacker
3. Lay down marble - using flexible adhesive.
So is this sensible? I want to keep the minimum height increase (the tiles are 15mm thick :yikes: ) so am hoping 6mm is sufficient if (1) is done properly.
How do you secure the backer - screws only or adhesive too?
Thanks in advance.
