Before tiling a floor it is often necessary to strengthen the floor using a sheet material such as WBP plywood or tile backer board. This video demonstrates how to fix WBP plywood to a tongue and groove wooden floor. More info an tiling floors can be found here- http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/tiling/tiling_wooden_floors.htm

Jan 30, 2012 - Your website states that for most tile types 12 mm over ply is enough. I have seen too many cracked tile floors. Floor boards differ in thickness, joist spacing differs (at least in the old houses I work in), boards may have shrunk so that tong & groove are no longer connected making the floor less rigid in one direction, and floor loads differ. I'd not recommend less than 18 mm in any case. Removing the boards and pouring a cement floor on lewis plates is a very secure alternative.

It's difficult getting decent quality ply in many towns and the stuff sold in the sheds is expensive and poor quality in many cases. There is one floor tiling video on youtube that uses 6mm ply :-0

When ever you do a job like this it is always better to over engineer, that way you are sure that nothing will go wrong! It took bloomin ages driving all those screws in LOL I'm glad you like the channel, thanks for the comment ;-)
