I'm about to tile my bathroom and have a few questions.
The floor is T&G with a thin layer of plywood (I will remove this).
the bathroom was previously tiled from floor to 1/2 way and the top painted with bathroom paint.
At another property I once had a badly cracked tiled floor and want to avoid this.
Q's
1. What is the best brand/type of backer board e.g. cement/fibre?
2. I've seen 6mm and 12mm available, which should I use?
3. Is it worth laying Schluter Ditra over the backer?
4. What is the best way to prepare the painted walls prior to tiling? is there a product available, or is it a case of sanding/scoring?
Thanks!
