Hi new here so hi to you all.
We do work for a small but luxury hotel chain. Three years ago a builder completed a loft conversion on one of the hotels, within this loft conversion thre batherooms where installed. All the bathroom floors (and walls) were fitted out with travertine 460 x 460 tiles. Since then to now all the floors are cracking and tiles becoming loose. When you bounce on the floor you can feel it move. Whilst there last week it was discovered that the tiles where fitted directly to the chipboard flooring.
Sorry about the length of background.!
We have been asked (as all the floors our company have laid within the hotel have not cracked) to give a quotation to re-tile the floors. My first thought was tiles up (plus possibly the chipboard) re-floor if required then 18mm marine ply screwed every 150mm . Then the flexible adhesive/grout as normal.
The only problem is the finish hieght would not help walkin from the bedroom into the en-suite with out a 20mm high trip hasard. The pan (which has aconceled cisterns) would have to be raised as would the radiators which are floor mounted.
Is ther another method such as this decoupling membrane PCI Pecilastic®
Your help would be very much appricated. The tiler i allways use is on holiday for two weeks and the hoteler would like this costing back ASAP
