So forget about cement boards and foam boards and just tile direct onto wood?

[QUOTE="Glynn, post: 930871, member: 44114"] Best practice will always be Backer-board first. But the correct ply-board type can still be tiled. BS5385 changed last year. I ask why a substrate that the industry tiled to for twenty years that I know of and probably longer is now now longer suitable? What as changed in 6 months? In my role has technical support we go out to failure on ply-board but mostly they are of the incorrect type and not suitable for tiling from the start. The soft flooring industry use thousands of ply-board sheets every day and pour thousands of gallons of water based smoothing compounds over them and we get zero phone calls with debonding issues. Why can their industry be able to acheive this when the tiling industry acording to BS5385 need to be protected from this "not suitable" substrate. Nobody from BS contacted Tilemaster for our input has to whether Tilemasters adhesives are suitable and have been since Tilemaster developed them, and will continue to be suitable for fixing tiles to suitable ply-boards.
