Decent Floor Tile Adhesive for Wooden Floors

[Dan]

Just wondered what the score is these days with you professionals and DIYers who have the need to tile in a TONGUE AND GROOVE floorboards situation.

Is it ...

1. Fastflex (or similar) directly on the T&G
2. Ply then Single Part Flex
3. Some other method

Larsen have a wooden floor fast set for t&g. Have used it for years without any probs

So there's me and you for sticking directly to the boards and two others for plywood overlay. Nice, I think there's still some room in the market for an easier/more trusted brand that can stick directly to solid tongue and groove floor boards. Fastflex and the Larsen's gear (which I saw promoted at launch at Expotile 2002? I think it was) is still yet to be rivalled by a brand that requires only as much work as a cement based adhesive found in a bag, the one we use daily and trust.

If the boards are in good condition and well screwed down i'll tile directly, if they're bad I would overlay

Well, that's the way to go really.

Ardex 7001 is designed for timber floors and can go straight on to T&G providing they are securely fixed down.

Have you used it? If so, is it as good as the likes of Fastflex?

granfix ultimate flex can go direct onto floor boards says on the bag also suitable for floating floors just add water instead of latex bottle like others been using it past week its like working with chewing gum also when you try to back butter it gos every where £27 for a 20kg bag much cheaper than fastflex

I did a floating floor with granfix ultimate flex, what a nightmare, i will never tile a floating floor again with it.

[L & R CERAMICS]

i couldnt trust floorboards as a base to tile on to so id rather board aswell

[Varley]

I have never tiled directly onto floor boards, don't think i would chance it either.
