Ok so I have a 3m x 2m bathroom to fit out & have just ripped the floor up back to joists.

What is your preferred method of preparation.
The tiles are 450 x 450 porcelain.

22mm NMP
Chipboard & tile backer
Chipboard & antifracture
Ply & Ditra.....etc etc?

I usual method is chipboard and 6mm Hardie.

But if all the floor is up and you can get it locally for a good price 22mm no more ply would be best I suppose.

Ply & marmox boards is usually my choice

22 mm no more ply, hands down.

Hardiefloor is produced in Australia, and became uneconomical as a product here because it never caught on fast enough.
Which is a real shame, excellent bit of kit.

Ply and then HB/pro ply would be my choice.

If budget doesn’t allow it then Chipboard then TBB

For me, the large sheet of ply does it. As I do Bathrooms it’s rarely more than a single joint in the floor.
