    Default travertine on caber board

    hi all
    whats the way forward in preparing a caber board floor for trav
    the floor is going to be a wet room with ufh, someone has installed 12mm ply with a thousand and one screws and finished the shower trays to this height,theres no deflection .
    if the shower trays need to be lifted to suit additional sub floor preperation thats not my prob
    do i
    install cI plus as tanking and de coupling over 12mm ply ,then ufh slc as normal
    or do i need to incorperate insulation boards as well or would this be a customer preference
    or do i
    glue and screw hardi 250 over existing 12mm ply,then cIplus,then ufh then slc
    im getting a bit paranoid getting this right as theres a fair bit of work to come off it
    thanks for your time

    The ply should be 18mm or at the very least 15mm, expansion gaps between sheets and a perimeter gap also boards should be primed front back & sides

    Is the floor deflection free?

    would prefer to use insulation boards glued & screwed if you can get over your height issue.

    If using a decoupler I would lay UFH matt, slc then decoupler.
