I'm intending to tile a kitchen diner floor, 1/3 of which is concrete but the other 1/3 a suspended timber floor on 4 inch joists. I'm aware that such joists have a propensity for deflection/bounce, which I need to remove. My intended plan of action is to remove all the floorboards and replace with 25mm plywood 8x4 sheets. I'll also put 2x4 or 3x4 supports at regular intervals between the joists, and build some dwarf walls beneath the joists to add extra support ( the joist are suspended about 1 foot above the foundations).
I'll then plan on put matting down over whole floor (ideally the bal matting as its only 1mm thick and thresholds are an issue).
Do people think this is okay, or should I put 6mm no more ply down instead of matting to add extra strength? And is my plan for reinforcing the floor adequate?!
Thanks.
