Floor Tile Question
I'm hoping Trekkor or someone will chime in here:
I am replacing the tile floor in my bathroom, the total area is under 50 sq ft.
The old ceramic was on top of 1/4" underlay plywood which was nailed to the sub floor. The plywood is level with the hardwood floor outside the bathroom. I have removed all the old tile and the mortar (it was pretty easy to remove).
What is the right way to do this? I am thinking I should pull the plywood and instal cement backer board. Option two would be Ditra underlay, three would be a scratch coat on the plywood (possibly with mesh), and four would be tile on plywood.
I want to do it right (regardless of the effort involved) , AND next minimize the 'step-up' into the bathroom.
Lastly, how hard is it to lay marble (12"x12")? I have lots of ceramic experience, no marble experience....
