Should I use screws or nails to tack down 9mm ply to wooden floor boards that will be tiled on? And what size would suffice?

Thank-you

9mm WBP ply is no way near thick enough for o/boarding....

what condition is the f/boards in...are they "screwed" to joists every 200/300mm....

there is no deflection/bounce on it whats so ever......

either use a 6.5mm cement based backer board,...aquapanel/hardie/no more ply etc ..follow mfr inst re:fixing o/boarding...i.e..glueing/screwing..

or 15mm WBP ply screwed every 200/300mm into joists,but prime the underside and edges with sbr/acrylic primer proir to fixing down...

have a wee scoop about prevouis threads on here.. ;)
