Travertine tiles on wooden floor...to do or not to do?

I dont disagree and I often use 6mm Hardie on a timber floor that I have judged to be solid enough. It doesnt alter the fact that if there was a failure, BAL for example, would disclaim all responsibility.

Now that i agree with.. :lol:

But so would any adhesive comp really... when it comes down to it.. fixer error will always get the blame.. so best to do what you know works.. simples..

Ditra doesn't always work well if there is a slight bounce on subfloor. It will however insulate the floor slightly IMHO. 6mm Cement board, laid with flexi adhesive and fine notched trowel, then screwed down 200mm apart, use scrim tape on joints and tile as normal with flex tile adhesive making sure you skim the back of the tile with flexi adhesive to archive a good fix.
