Hi all

Was scouring sites and pages for advice on the best way to prep floors and came across this forum.

We've had an extension built and are thinking of tiling our new utility room and cloakroom. Most of the floor is new screed, but the cloakroom is where the new floor meets the existing wooden floorboards under our stairs.

It looks pretty even and wondering if we can just use a decoupling matt? Have looked into ply/backing boards for the wooden section but think that may cause a lippage in the middle.

All thoughts and advice welcomed.

Cheers

I would acrylic prime and lay Schluter Ditra matting with Ardex AF200 glue using a 1.5mm notch trowel, you could also use single part rapid powder, but you can get on it faster using the glue.
