Discuss Tiling bathroom floor in the Australia area at TilersForums. The USA and UK Tiling Forum (Also now Aus, Canada, ROI, and more)

In the process of renewing my bathroom and looking for advice on flooring for tiling.

Bathroom has a suspended timber floor with 25mm tongue and groove floorboards. Cant remove the floorboards or else I'll be pulling down 2 stud walls so not really an option to remove & replace.

The floorboards are pretty straight and solid with some cut outs here and there from the old layout which I have patched up.
Question is whats best to overlay the flooring with before tiling?

Was thinking either:

  • 9mm ply
  • 3mm hardboard topped with 6mm cement board
  • cement board direct to floorboards

How big is the area?
No to 9mm ply.
No to 3mm hardboard - anywhere, anytime, any situation.
Hardibacker 6mm bedded in adhesive and screwed will give a sound surface for tiling.
My preference would be 10mm Wedi though, as it's waterproof.
