Hi everyone, new to this. I have tried to lay floor tiles straight on to floorboards but they haven't stuck. Is there anything I can use or have I got to lay sheets of plywood first. Also the floorboards seem to have soaked up the water in the adhesive. Someone help where am I going wrong.

What adhesive did you use, are they softwood floorboards or chipboard.

Eitherway it is best to overlay with plywood or rip the lot up and replace with thicker ply and noggins under the joints.
