Good morning.
I am just about to start a bathroom project and am planning on tiling the bathroom floor which is on the first floor and therefore has floor boards. I have been doing some research and I am unsure which of the following is the best option to prepare the floor before tiling:
Option 1. Lay 12mm plywood and then an anti cracking membrane, or,
Option 2. Lay 12mm cement backer board and then tile straight on top.
Also with option 2, does the use of backer board mean you don’t have to use any membrane?
And finally, what tile adhesive and grout is best to use on this type of floor?
Thanks in advance
