Interesting I have had 2 people out at the house now and neither has mentioned this type of material.

Thanks matey

As you only get one chance to get it right I find the additional cost and time worth it. It's great on wood, cement sheeting or solid substructure. A major benefit is that it can be laid on green concrete and leveller therefore saving time before it fully cures.  I started with nothing and still have most of it left!

I am a professional tiler and have been doing it for nearly 30 years. I would recommend not to tile on to any timber even though manufacturers say you can. I would recommend a product Called no more ply (6mm thick) cement board. If any uneaven areas then these can be made good with a leveling compound. The boards need priming with a sbr primer before any tiling or levelling and not to use pva.the best products for tiling at the moment is tilemaster.the levelflex leveling compound is fiber reinforced and flexible and can be tiled on in three hours or a 30 minute one is available. A minimum requirement for tiling in any of possible movement is a s1 polmer modified adhesive called settaflex or for a belt and braces job is to use a s2 adhesive called ultimate. Also a flexible grout is needed. Or you can use an antifracture /decoupling matting like dittra matting or tilemaster anti fracture matting which is only £6 per meter.

+ 1 , do it right do it once
