Sorry my info wasnt that clear... took up old timber on floor... going to put plywood down and then put the tiles on... screw down the plywood and put down acryic primer on ply... anything else im missing.... sumone said to me about a water sealant but only a toilet and sink going down
Confusing, your last post said you’d “taken up the timber on the floor” which I assumed was the original floorboards. If your overboarding, fix the ply through into the joists (check for pipes & cables) not just into the top of the floorboards. Make sure the original floorboards are well secured first using additional screws if necessary.This is the floor.... so im going to put down the ply 12mm wbp.... then screw it down with countersinking screws every 150mm....
then use acrylic primer on the ply.... is that correct....
Seal the BACK & all EDGES with acrylic/SBR primer. DO NOT prime the top tile face unless your adhesive manufacturer recommends it, most don’t & it could affect tile adhesion.
Use a quality trade flexible cement based addy/grout suitable for the tiles your laying, do not use tub mix or cheapo DIY shed crap. Read the tiling sticky & Tiling Forum archives to avoid making potentially disastrous mistakes.
I hope your mate knows what he’s doing.have a mate thats doing the tiling... just want to get everything ready
