Hi all, new to this forum and looking for advice / reassurance.

I'm getting my hallway tiled and it's an old house, built circa 1900. It still has the original floorboards and after getting a few quotes, the tiler who can do the job says I only need to put down anti fracture mats over the wooden floorboards. Others had said I'd need Hardieback over them.

I'm worried I spend all this money and the tiles end up cracking, but he reassured me that I only need the antifracture mats + the flexible grout.

Does this sound right to you guys?

Thanks for the reply :) this is what I read online, but the tiler insists I don't need anything else but I'm worried about this so I might just say I'll go with someone else
