Sub-floor board

[Simons70]

I have to raise the floor in bathrooms with 109 mm before tiles.
The client want use Knauf dry screed board (23mm) before tiles.
What suitable substrate for tiles, as we want to avoid the subfloor construction moving or collapsing in the future ?

Kingspan is what they put under floating floors.....not sure it would be suitable to tile to.

That's exterior insulation for attaching to the building and rendering. Not sure if it has much strength in compression.
Like above, two layers of 50mm adhesives together , or 50mm kingspan with 59mm liquid, or sand/cement screed.

Personally the insulation board will be quicker. Lay one layer, then the next one at 90degrees.

I find marmox now,60 mm is what I need.How can be fixed on concrete floor,like usual,adhesive and screws?

On solid floors I've always just fixed with adhesive. I've only used marmox up to 20mm on floors so id ring their technical ti be safe

Redone plenty of shower trays 100mm thick. But never sat a bath on it, so would need to be titled fully under a bath.

If a pumped screed is too heavy any screed will be .
Id still think about building a timber floor , 3x2 , ply then cement boards .
That will lift it around that height .

Yes,toilets,just one shower in the basement

Aye , fair enough Simon .
It is really easy , you do need the right tools though , us tradesmen should be able to do other basic bits of other trades , Ive picked loads up over 30 years doing my own houses and stuff, once you get confident it's easy enough.
but if you just wanna stick to one thing it's fair enough

Yep your right widdy, only today I removed a patio door, set it up nicely on a workbench, attempted to take 5mill off the bottom...and smashed my plain blade to pieces on the bottom lock I'm sticking to winging it at tiling
