[quote=fastcam;82680]Now im confused gaz.Do you recommend laying ply first before tiling the floor or just direct fix onto the t&g floorboards with 2 part flexible adhesive ?[/quote]Direct with 2 part if your floor boards are sound enough, obviously any creaking or loose boards need to be secured and any rotten ones replaced. If the floor has lots of movement then overboard to strenghten it with 6mm ply or 6mm backerboard then use 2 part....Gaz
