Hi, first post so please go easy on me!
I'd consider myself a competent diy-er and in the past have succesfully laid ceramic tiles on a solid floor.
I've now got an en-suite shower room in which I want to lay travertine mosaic tiles. The flooring is green moisture proof chipboard, and it's a very small area, probably less than 3m square and very little movement.
There is another en-suite in the house which has already been tiled in the same way several years ago before I moved in. They have been stuck directly to the chipboard and they look great with no loose tiles.
I was hoping to use something like Unibond 'tile on wooden floors' which it says can be used directly onto chipboard - what preparation would you advise with the green top layer of the board, as it feels quite waxy. I was thinking of scoring and sanding it?
I am guessing mosaic tiles would be a lot more tolerant on a wooden floor than say, 30cm ceramic tiles?
Any comments appreciated.
