Hi all

I am currently undertaking the task of laying a new Travertine floor in my kitchen/dining room.

Total area to cover is 65m2 and is a real mix of shapes and sizes room wise with a fireplace, nibs, nooks etc to negotiate.

The floor is joist and 20mm tongue and groove floor board (mostly new this year), I have covered this with 12mm marine ply and screwed every 100mm.

The floor is solid with little flex but there are 2 or 3 mm of level between the ply sheets in some places.

My question is this, should I use a suitable leveling compound over the joints and feather them out prior to tiling or should I cover the whole floor area.

The Travertine is 12mm Opus design and tumbled effect so will be using fairly wide joints for grouting.

Hope this is enough information for some advise
