Not DVDs I know, but you lot know a bit about everything.

I want to lay ceramic floor tiles in bathroom. Foor at the moment is tongue and groove floorbards layed with the 1930`s house.

I know you are supposed to board onto those first the tile, but that will make the floor about 18mm off the ground!

How is that Unibond `straight onto wood` tile adhesive...any good? Any experience with similar products.

Or is it even worth ripping up all the flooring and laying new floor grade chipboarding down?

Heeeelp!

I would say take the boards up and lay flooring grade chipboard. I put down cork tiles in our bathroom (laying hardboard first), but the floorboards have moved in places, causing cracks in the tiles. Do it properly while you have the chance, even though it will be a lot more work :( Would you have to take that bath etc out? Yikes - a lorra lorra work....

suite is coming out anyway. so that`s not extra work. But I can understand cork tiles going, but surely cermaic onto the flexible adhesive is gonna be ok isn`t it?

I was told to use marine ply when i wanted to do mine but you definitely want to do it right the first time.
