No. A subfloor needs to be 1 1/4" thick. Ceramic needs an extremely stable substrate. When thinset is added to the floor the water in the mixture weakens the plywood. Any flex in a subfloor will cause a tile to crack. Traditionally tile was placed on a mudbed. It was a cement mixture laid on the plywood at least 3/4" thick. Mudbeds are not for a do it yourselfer, since if the cement isn't mixed right or the floor is prepped incorrectly you can have a mess quickly. Today, a great many pros and the majority of DIY's use a cement board. There are several brand names on the market, Wonderboard, Hardibacker, Durock, etc. You apply a layer of thinset with 1/4" x 1/4" square notch trowel. The board is put over this and screwed into place. Some can be nailed, but screws are more reliable The seams are taped and mudded with a special mesh (similar to drywall tape) and thinset. The ceramic is then applied to the top of that with another layer of thinset. Depending on the thickness of the tile and original subfloor, you should end up with something around 1 1/2" to 1 3/4". There is a new generation of "cement board" but they can be quite costly. Schuter makes a product called Ditra that looks like a waffle pattern. You lay thinset on both sides. It will shave off a little in the height but is about 3x more expensive to use then cement board.
The thin set you should use over plywood is called Durabond. Durabond is a water-based coating that dries to a hard, durable finish. It can be applied directly to new or old drywall and will not cause any harm if it comes in contact with insulation.
You couldn't tile directly over a plywood sub-floor because over time, the wood will be expanding. There are products you can use in between the plywood and tiles to keep them in place such as cement backer board.
Thin set mortar? It is what you use to lay ceramic tile.
you can hack it with a hatchet and then use a good multi purpose thin set to adhere it on the old installation
You use a thick plywood as the base for this project. Stick an edge around it then glue items onto the plywood. For durability ,you can pour clear resin over the items once set in place. This will give a hard,lasting finish.
I used plywood to build my sentence. That box might be made of plywood or solid wood. The treehouse has a plywood floor.
Um, a tarp?? What are you trying to protect the plywood FROM?
If the thinset is stuck good, absolutely, just make sure it's secure & as clean as possible & go to it.
coz its strong
You can used exterior grade plywood when tiling floors, but it is only an acceptable choice. If going over a wood substrate, the best choice is a mudbase or cement board.
plywood comes from around Australia or new Guernsey but use this from me OK bye
can you use plywood or a wooden box instead of a box springs?
