[QUOTE="Matt J, post: 893139, member: 49961"] Hi all So it's best to start saying that Im way out of my comfort zone on tiling - think I was born to be a keyboard warrior in an office for a day job! I've recently brought a new house and have been replacing the ensuite with the help of YouTube mainly and a bit of plumbing from the father in law. I'm now at the point where I need to lay the floor tiles. They are 8mm thick porcelain tiles from B&Q and coverage is around 1.5m2. They will be going onto timber floorboards and have been recommended using durabase matting first before. This is where I get confused. A few YouTube videos I have seen talk about using a thinset mortar to put the matting down. I've been using Mapei super flexible adhesive, can I use that to lay the matting? Also, do I need to use a primer between the floorboards and the matting? If so, what's the best to use? Could I use pva glue as it's such a small space to prime and I'm not likely to be tiling again for a while. Thanks Matt [/QUOTE]
