floor tiling

[fastcam]

Im tackling my first bathroom floor,is it possible to tile straight onto floorboards instead of using ply first,would a super flexi adhesive and grout from granfix etc do the job or would it crack.

not worth the risk mate, board it with 12 ml ply regs recomend 18ml but 12 is enough.

With the right prep work , you can tile onto floor boards but i have never trusted this method....I either ply out or use backerboards.....sometimes even Ditra....each job treated individually......

But if it had to onto boards then it would have to BAL fastflex...

I wouldnt do it if the floor was a large floor. For small bathrooms i find it good though.
Bal fast Flex
Biscem Fast Flex
My own bathroom is done with Fast Flex, its a small floor and all boards were secured with screws. Grouted with flexi grout and its been tiled for about 5 years with no cracks to the tile or grout.
