    Why cant you use 6mm no more ply? its hardly going to create a step is it? You may as well throw your money away if you are tiling straight onto chipboard

    the normal chipboard soaks in the moisture and warps the boards and the moisture resistant doesnt absorb the water very well creating a barrier and a very light fix, if fix at all..................NOT RECOMMENDED TO TILE ON CHIPBOARD,OVERBOARD WITH 6MM HARDIE AS DOM SAYS.

    Some tubbed adhesives state they are fine for use in wet areas or with large format tiles, experience suggests otherwise, would you like to take advantage of the combined experience and knowledge of the forum?

    If so overboard the floor.
