Hi All,
My first post! I've tiled three bathrooms before, but walls not floors. I am renovating a house and have a 22sqm kitchen diner with a floor that needs tiled. The floor is a suspended timber floor but under instruction from the UFH manufacturer I counterbattened the underside of the joists and laid 75mm kingspan in them, then laid UFH pipe and set it into a 25mm biscuit screed before putting 22mm chipboard deck above. (I had my heart in my mouth screwing the deck down!)
So now I just have to tile it!
I have 600x 600 porcelain tiles, and they came with a flexible adhesive the manufacturers said I needed to get from them for them to guarantee the tiles.
Do I need to PVA the chipboard deck before tiling?
I was going to spread the adhesive with a notched trowel to a depth of about 6mm, does that sound right? (I made sure my deck is perfectly level)
Basically I am nervous about my first floor tiling and about tiling over UFH. Any advice would be most appreciated
Many thanks
Susie
