    Default Ditra on varnished boards

    Has anyone here fixed Ditra to varnished boards? It's over 40m2 so I'd like to avoid sanding off and I wouldn't want to use a regular tile adhesive onto varnish. I'm thinking of something like a carpet adhesive but I really need to find something that the manufacturer recommends for this situation.
    Hope someone can help, cheers.

    Are these just standard 6" wide boards?

    Sorry but no you can't...You can only tile to floorboards if they have no contaminants on them..

    Overlay with 6mm hardi board and then ditra if it is still required.

    what is your reasoning for the ditra usage.?
