chipboard

[carl t]

just want to know if i can tile straight over chip board or do i have to ply
thanks

[Rav daniels]

No never do that mate, ply over, or use a backer board,

[TT Tiling]

same as above ,prime your ply

[nybor62]

as above pal, alot of tile and adhesive stockists will sell adhesive that they reckon you can tile onto chipboard with , alot of the chipboard nowadays is treated ,and not suitable for tiling onto,

I'd use hardibacker 250 to overlay the chipboard Carl, it's only 6mm thick (plus adhesive) so you won't have to many worries about height issues

[Gazzatile]

Chipboard is just not a good tiling substrate overlay or take it up

[carl t]

cheers lads
do any of you live near rochdale a bit quite at the min and bored
just need to get out the office a labour for the day

[whitebeam]

6mm Hardie works a treat for me

[irishjas]

just use durock cement board and make sure that you screw it well down 2 the chipboard

[penkhull]

Depending on the chipboard you could use 10mm of weber floor flex self levelling compound
