Just doing a quote for a kitchen floor that has been extended. There is a height difference between the old chipboard and some very lumpy concrete( the concrete is about 10mm above the chipboard). I was going to overlay the chipboard with plywood then level the concrete with latex until i get the required height. Is this the right way to go as i have never attempted anything like this before  ? PS Good to be back on the forum and back into tiling after my honeymoon. | ||||||||||

Your prep methods for the floor will be fine...make sure you put an expansion joint exactly over the point where the two substrates meet...try and start with a full tile at this point if you can, then it will look neater than putting a joint in the middle of a tile..... congratulations on your marriage mate...  | ||

hi mate you can either use a silicone expansion joint ( minimum 6mm).colour to match grout.. or you can use a manufactured expansion joint..schluter do some great joints and they come with coloured inserts to match tiles or grout... Movement and control joint profiles - Schlüter-Systems | ||
