    im sure a flexi adhesive and flexi grout will be fine bud.You could also use a 2 part fexi and flexi grout.Just double check that the substrate is solid and screw down more if need be.If its a large floor area then you will need to consider expansion joints.

    If it is 18mm ply straight onto joists, and not an overlay, then a standard SPF is not sufficient.
    You will need to use a two part elastomeric adhesive, such as BAL Fastflex.
