Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm looking for abit of advice really.
We have moved into the house and ripped the kitchen out... its 12sqm and its just a square room. We have swayed against laminate flooring and want tiles.(its swayed all over the place) thing that was putting us off it we would have to rip the floor boards up and put Board down to tile on... The floor boards thats are on the floor an't thats bad... Reason we feel we have to take the floor boards up is that we dont want a leval change going into the kitchen!
I've done abit of research on tiling on wooden floors....We have found if we use a primer on the wood and a flexible adhesive and flexi grout then we could tile ontop of the very sturdy floorboards. We found a test on here to see if the floor boards are sturdy enough a glass of water full up to the brim and try jumping on the floor to spill it... 2 of us could'nt manage to spill it!!!!
So the plan is to clean the floor boards... plain the high points back so its more a less level... Prime it and then set my tiles up... and start tiling.
Will this be ok... I'm i heading down the right track? any advice it more than welcome.
with thanks
Jack
