Hello all
I'm looking to be installing some floor tiles in my upstairs bathroom but this will be my first time. I've had a little a read up but am seeking some more advice. Obviously you can't lay tiles straight on floor boards and i have read about laying 2 layers of 6mm ply first. Is this correct? If not, what would be suitable? Also if any problems should arise in the near future regarding pipework under the floor boards would i then need to take up the '2 layers of 6mm ply' and tiles to resolve the issue or is there another way? Finally, what with the 2 layers of 6mm and the tile thickness, it will be a higher level to that of my landing. How could i resolve this? Would i have to use a reducer like in floor laminate?
Sorry if i sound stupid but i want to get this spot on and know everything before i start
