    Default HELP!!! Chipboard nightmare

    Hi everyone. I am tiling my bathroom floor. I have pulled up the lino to reveal a rather hideously tiled floor. It would seem that whoever laided the floor did so with what appears to be a cement based adhesive straight on to the chipboard. Having removed the tiles I am left with a totally uneven floor covered in what I can only describe as the toughest cementy material known to man. I have tried chiselling it and it is not making a dent. Any advice?

    As long as the floor is solid enough..then mapei fibre plan is great to level timber floors with...

    Water-bored ultra-fast hardening self levelling fibre reinforced smoothing compound.
    Applications:
    Fiberplan is used for smoothing and levelling from 3 to 10 mm over adequately anchored wood substrates and wooden boarding where good resistance to loads and traffic is required; Fiberplan is suitable for wheeled chair traffic and for heated floors.
    Fiberplan can only be used internally.
    Smoothing of old and new timber floors: wooden boarding, chip-board panels, plywood, parquet.
    Smoothing cement, terrazzo, old ceramic tile, natural stone substrates. Coverage
    1.6 kg/m2 per mm of thickness. Packaging
    25 kg bags.


    And here is the spec sheet for it..
