Re: Subfloor thickness for tile? said by IIIBradIII:Well the first layer of ply should be fine, but I'd then add CBU on top of that, ensuring that the seams are overlapped. He's already using Ditra, so there is no advantage to using a CBU.
I'd go existing 1/2", another 1/2", heating wire, ditra, tiles with the appropriate thinsets between all the layers of the sandwich. You'd be up ~1/4" at the threshold of the bathroom, but it's not uncommon to have some type of a transition there anyways so I don't think it will be a stumbling point or look wrong. | |  IIIBradIIIComm M-E-L Instr join:2000-09-28 Greer, SC | said by cdru:said by IIIBradIII:Well the first layer of ply should be fine, but I'd then add CBU on top of that, ensuring that the seams are overlapped.

Fair enough, I'm no expert. -- »www.FlightSimWorld.com Remember, there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots. Flight Simulator | |
