[QUOTE="NickW, post: 850403"] Hi all, I'm hoping someone will help me with some much needed advice.... I am renovating our 1930's property room by room and next up is the kitchen! I have laid wall and floor tiles before but never natural stone, in this case we are looking at using travertine tiles. The existing floor is mostly timber joists and floor boards although where the previous owners had an extension build there is an area which is a solid concrete floor. i have tested the wooden floor for deflection by placing a full to the brim glass of water in the middle and walking around (even jumping) and nothing spilt. it's a galley kitchen so the floor area between units is only around 1.3m wide I have seen numerous different solutions offered and to be honest it's all baffled me as some say one thing then another suggests something totally different! The issue i have is the tiles are around 10mm thick and we are looking to put electric UFH in (only due to the solid floor area otherwise i'd be installing a wet system but i havent got the time to gun out 15mm of concrete in order to give me enough depth to install. this again is where my head is struggling to work out the best way of unsuring i dont end up with cracked tiles. I cant afford to increase the floor level by too much otherwise i will end up with a step in to the kitchen from the hallway (currently there is a laminate floor down in the kitchen which matches the carpet level in the hallway) how can i ensure the floor is adequate for travertine without raising the level by too much?
