Hi,
as a new comer to the trade (have just completed a course at north east tiling training) I am tiling a bathroom floor which is tongue and groove. Should I lay ply and use flexi adhesive and grout ( any suggestions on brands gratefully received) or is there any other way of doing it? I've heard talk of an adhesive you can use on floor boards but don't know any thing about it.

Thanks
nick

Bal Fast flex, or Ardex-flex 7001 and you can go strtaight to the floorboards if they are solid. If you over board with 18mm ply you may get away with a Single Part Flexy.

Hi grumpygrouter
thanks for your reply. One floor board was loose but the rest are solid. Any suggestions on the grout if using this type of adhesive or is it just a flexi?

Ditra if the floors solid

nick you have to get the floor completly solid before tiling on to it , i would overboard with 9mm ply screwed 150mm centres and use a 2 part adhesive , use a flexi grout as well..

Yes flexy grout also. You can get standard wide joint grout and use an admix if you wish.
