Tiling a bathroom floor

[GaryM]

I'm currently refurbing my bathroom and am coming up to the point where I need to concentrate on the floor.

The floor area is quite small at around 2M x 1.2M (bath area not included) so I purchased a sheet of 18mm spruce plywood to replace the existing floorboards which have seen better days. I'm told that spruce plywood isn't a good option and that I should have opted for WBP plywood.
I've also got 4 sheets of 6mm no more ply cement boards which I intended to use over the 18mm ply. I was also going to seal the underside and sides of the ply prior to fitting.

Tiles are 300x300 ceramic and the adhesive that was chosen for me from my local tile shop is Tilemaster Setaflex - flexible rapid set floor tile adhesive

Can you see any potential problems with this arrangement or should I delay things and source a sheet of 18mm WBP ply?

BTW - I'm an electrician and this is only my second tiling job with the first (en-suite) turning out pretty good if I do say so myself! :hurray:

I think on the NMP you use the glue that you stick the boards down with to seal the joints..

Not one i have used,, i use Hardi,,
