hi everyone,
I'm about 6months in to my new tiling career and things seem to be going well. Look forward to getting involved with some
Of the discussions.
One quick query (and the main reason I joined), I'm currently pulling up some tiles that were laid in an upstairs ensuite over chipboard with 6mm ply overboard + anti fracture membrane due to the property being a new build.
First question - was the laying method correct? (I laid the tiles myself a couple of years back - none have cracked. Tiles are 600x300 thin slate effect probably only 6mm thick so I thought they probably would crack easily but apparently not!). Since starting my career ive started using delta boards instead of ply board over chipboard... comments ?
Secondly, has anyone got any tips on how to get the antifracture membrane up to start again?! Tiles came up easy enough but the anti fracture sandwiched between 2 layers of addy is very stubborn!!! Iv resorted to ripping it up attached to the plywood because it was taking so long, but because I screwed to plywood down to the chipboard so much even this method is a nightmare!
All the best, thanks for any help
