Hi, I wonder if you can help. I am about to embark on a tiling project and can't seem to find a definative answer!
Our bathroom used to have a carpet layed onto a chipboard floor. I have removed the carpet and we want to lay ceramic floor tiles.
What is the best product to use to prep the floor. Should I take up the chipboard, and install plywood? I have read that it should be 18mm thick but I think if this was layed on top of the chipboard it would be too high!
Also, do i need to replace the chipboard where the bath was or can i leave it there? I realise that this would mean that the floor is two different heights but I can't think of a major problem with this!
Many thanks for your help (hopefully)! We are almost ready to start but dont want to do the wrong thing!
