Hi Everyone, I've got a floor that is constructed with OSB. The construction is very rigid and solid. I also have a large number of old tomettes (natural clay, unglazed) that I would like to use on the floor. Any advise on laying, adhesives etc. would be gratefully received.

Do not tile onto the OSB. you need to over board it with a tile backer board. Prime the boards and use

As above, it’s structurally unstable to tile directly to it. Check deflection and overboard with a suitable backer board installed to said requirements

Masny thanks - I'll take your advise onboard (with the backer - I'll get my coat!!)
