    Tiling onto Ply, can it be a success?

    The Screed is between the joists and not load bearing. It is supported by the insulation underneath. The 18mm ply is the structural load bearing floor and although it does insulate, it doesn't make the system ineffective and requires the flow rate to be slightly higher than a screed floor...

    Tiling onto Ply, can it be a success?

    The heating has been installed for 1 year already and works perfectly. Heating bills have went down, floors are warm to touch even with laminate flooring. I realise backer board would be better to tile on than ply hence why I am getting advice and hence the title of the thread. Can someone...

    Tiling onto Ply, can it be a success?

    I have read a lot of conflicting opinions on using S2 over Ditra. I decided to go with Ultimate S2 as I read US and UK specs are different and S2 is suitable according to UK spec. I did think the screed was anhydrite but from a quick Google search it seems it's not. It is a dry mix with fibre...
