Tiling kitchen

[cyclonebri1]

Hi chaps.

Youngest D just had a new extention and kitchen etc fitted. They now want the floor tiling.

Floor is old dining room extended into new kitchen and utility room. 35sq mts in total.

Old floor is quality tongued and grooved, extention is green chip, all pretty level.

Tiles are 300 x 300 porcelain.

The floors, both do bounce a little, so what would b the recomendation for pre tiling? I have used such as NoMorePly but it's expensive, 18mm ply would give step issues. Is there any point in going with 12mm ply screwed and glued tightly?????

Cost effective option please.

Also best adhesive option considering cost??

Cheers Chaps

I'd go for WBP 12mm ply and Bal adhesive.

Floor now done in top quality 1/2 wpb ply, now feels much more solid.

Tiles are 420 mm sq not 300

Got weber flexible for cement, used it before and like it.

All good so far????????????????????????????????????????????????????

In my experience even slight bounce is a disaster about to happen. You should get under the floor and brace the joists. Doesn't take much effort at this stage.
