Hi, I am about to ceramic tile an existing 25mm chipboard floor. The floor was laid about 6years ago and is in still in excellent condition- very flat, very smooth.
Given that the floor is in good condition do I still need to lay down a plywood covering prior to laying the tiles? Is the plywood required to protect the chipboard floor from the tile adhesive or can I just prime the surface before tiling?
If I need to put down a protective covering would hardboard do the job?
Thanks in advance for any help received.
