I want to lay ceramic tiles on a chipboard floor. Can I lay them directly onto the chipboard or do I need to lay a plywood base first? If so, should I prep the base (i.e. PVA)
over the top if poss,at least 18mm thick. The chipboard will not have enough intregrity and the tiles/ joints will split.
With modern adhesives there isn't really the need to PVA it, but I must admit I usually do.
Do make sure you get the correct adhesive - one designed for wooden floors. it has a slight flexability to it.
i always unibond floors you never know if the washing machine will flood then the wood will blister and the hole lot will have to come up and be done again make sure you seal the edges as this is where the water will enter first
