Laying tile on cement backer board over a plywood subfloor.
Ceramic tile can be laid directly over a concrete slab using thin-set adhesive. The only prep work needed is to remove any old adhesive or paint and clean the concrete first.
Before laying tile over a plywood subfloor, cement backer board needs to be nailed or screwed to the floor. Next, apply fiberglass tape embedded in thin-set adhesive over the seams in the backerboard.
After the seams have dried, apply thin-set with a notched trowel to secure the tile. Watch this video to find out more.
