[QUOTE="popandu, post: 846673, member: 47626"] Hi all, I found this forum yesterday and after some thorough reading was really impressed by the know-how. I wondered if I could get the pro's advice on an en-suite that needs tiling - sorry in advance for the length of the post - I hope it allows for a better understanding! I have prep'd by removing toilet, taken-up old tiles laid direct onto chipboard, removed old tile adhesive (not sure what it was) with diamond disc and the result is pretty good. The sub-floor is 22mm chipboard (not sure what grade) in reasonably good condition laid on easijoists. On removal of old adhesive it has in parts removed a very fine layer top of the chipboard which I think had a green protective layer; the house and flooring is 13 years old. If you jump on it there is a little deflection but I wouldn't say much, although this is difficult to describe in a post. The area is 3.5 square metres. The shower and fitted furniture are staying and so too is the chipboard - I appreciate this is not the best. Re: the levels, the en-suite is the same as the chipboard in the bedroom - underlay and carpet will be going down there. The aim is not to have any step-up to the en-suite. I haven't chosen the tiles as yet - I am based in Essex; is there anywhere anyone would recommend visiting in particular? I've had a few quotes and they are all suggesting different solutions ... The main question is what is the best solution here and why that would be used over another? What are the recommendations in terms of layers and particular products? Eg: tiles/ tile adhesive/ thin ply, hardiebacker, ditra/ adhesive/ primer (if necessary?) Thanks in advance for any assistance - it will be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
