[QUOTE="trustiling, post: 784959, member: 19547"] Ivan, replacing the floor with 18mm ply will not solve the issue unless the joists are at 300mm centres (which they won't be) and you are going to dwang everywhere joins are very time consuming job. We have been tiling on top of green or brown chipboard for years but always with another substrate on top whether that was 6/9/12mm plywood through the years cross laid for support screwed at 200mm centres or annular nailed. Now 12mm is seen as the minimum if still using ply but 6mm hardie or insulation board the minimum. Just so we are clear I haven't used 6mm ply for over 14 years lol In short, you as the tradesman have a duty to advise the client of what is the standard when laying tiles to existing substrates regardless of their expectations. What are you going to do at the edges of the room when you find out that a full sheet of chipboard goes under a stud wall into the adjacent room?? You will be compromising the integrity of the whole floor needlessly when you have been given countless other recommendations by qualified persons on this forum. Sorry to sound like this but the customer doesn't always know best. [/QUOTE]
