Underlayment for Tile Floor

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I want to put a tile floor in the family room. Have a 2×6 T&G decking subfloor over 2×12 joists 16″ OC. Would a 7/16th CBU be an adequate underlayment over the decking?

        *That sounds like one heckuva floor. If the span isn't too great and the floor feels sturdy as is, tile on.Go to bed, Andrew.
