I need to raise a floor by as close to 15cm as possible. The floor is currently concrete.
I have been advised to create a floating floor by doing the following:
Paint the floor with a liquid dpm overlapping up the walls,
Put down Jablite Polystyrene
Put 18mm Chipboard T&G flooring on top which is just glued together (12mm expansion gap at the edges)
I'm told that is the easiest and most effective way to raise the floor in question.
My problem is that I want to tile the floor, so chipboard won't be good to tile to.
I've been told not to bother with the chipboard and instead use marine ply. Can ply be bought in T&G? If not how would I properly lay it?
Or is there any better way to do this?
