I would like a slate floor in my kitchen which is currently chipboarded [22mm]. Some has to be removed due to water damage so I thinking of replacing the whole floor to a more stable flooring - thinking of WBPly.
Then have been advised a good base for tiles is the 'hardback' sheets available in tiling shops.
If I use this would 18mm WBP be ok, with the 10mm 'hardback' on top, or would I have to use 22mm WBP?
{im assuming WBPly is more rigid than chipboard would be and I would be screwing it down onto the joists every 20-30cm - would that be ok?]
Also, what sort of insulation if at all could be put under the floor or would it interfere with airflow provided by the airbricks]
All advice appreciated......
