Schluter or ply

[Christoffy]

Hi everyone. Am planning to tile out a new bathroom for the first time. The flooring is 22mm tongue and groove chipboard. I've read up a little but wanted to ask can i use the schluter ditra matting direct to the chipboard? Or am I better to lay some sort of ply onto the chipboard then tile onto this. Any help help is much appreciated. Thanks

Is the floor free of deflection ? If so then I would use backerboard.

hi christoffy, i would opt for a 6mm cement sheet as long as the sub floor is solid.

no shcluter... no ditra.... but if the floor is screwed down and strong enough than I would advise to overboard with hardi backer boards glued and screwed at 30mm centres and then tile
