Tiling on wayrock

[steven9586]

Hi guys and girls, i'm new to this forum.

Could anyone tell me if there is any way of tiling direct on the top of wayrock, with a highly flexible adheisive as i'm going to have major problems putting ply down as it will cause a step up into the en suite.

Any advice would be much appreciated as i'm fairly new to this.

Regards

Steven

Can you not use 6mm backer boards such as NoMorePly or Hardibacker ?

Cement board, fixed with addy and screwed every 200...

Thanks for the response, would there be any other option as this will cause a step up into the en suite of about half an inch. With the 6mm board plus the travertine tiles and adheisive.

You wont even notice the step after the first couple of days... and there are a few tricks for hiding the step with trims or boosting the carpet with underlay..... I would not recommend tiling directly onto the floor, cement board gives you the best tiling substrate going for your circumstances.

what other option do you want steven,6mm is very small height adjustment

infact look at it this way.....tile direct to the wayrock and expect the floor to fail

add 6mm height lift for cement boards and have peace of mind

Hello Steven and welcome..

The problem with tiling to chipboard isn't getting tile adhesive to stick to it.. it is getting the3 chipboard to stay integral without breaking away, IMO chipboard isn't a stable enough substrate to tile directly to and needs over boarding to help with this.. 6mm Hardi backer would be my option as long as the floor was virtually deflection free..

ditto with everyone,i had the same problem with in my ensuite,i just put no more ply down,glued and screwed,you can't see any lip at all.

. im also a thinking if you have these boards in your bathroom they run through to your bedroom/landing,so shouldent be a problem,as the step will be minimal

oh and wellcome:smilewinkgrin:
