Valentino, I would have used a continuous piece of backer board in the doorway as that is the tread area. You can raise the PVC door a little on its hinges, not too much but maybe enough to help. Very useful vid though as working on suspended wooden floors is full of complexity. Pity the customer was working to a budget as those radiator pipes needed to go under the floor! That may have given you the access to level the joists from underneath. It must be very frustrating for you to have to compromise. That said, these sort of vids where compromises have to be made are the most useful.

im planning on doing my upstairs bathroom and i was wondering if theres anything i must do before going diy on the tiling. the floorboards are bit noisy and im pretty sure some of them "breathing" when stepping on it. dont really rant to replace floorboards cuz dont have that kinda funds available. would it be an issue that the boards breathe when stepping on it? obviously not a major movement in them but still some.. would the glue hold the tiles in place or would they start cracking and disconnecting after a little while?

Hi Peter You have to make sure that the floorboards don’t have any missing screws or nails. Prime the floorboards and then glue down a 6mm cement board with flexible tile adhesive and screws. Use small screws to fix the cement board into the floorboards. No need for long screws because you will have pipes, cables under .( if you can install a 12mm cement board is even better) After this you need to prime the cement board and you can install the tiles. I hope this makes sense, but don’t hesitate to ask any questions if you have.

A great video! I do have a question for my project. I am buying a new build house and will do the tiling. In the bathrooms they already installed on the floor the backer board (baseboard), I can see the same screws you used, however I am not sure if they used any adhesive underneath. I was advised to remove the backer board and to install a decoupling mat, I also got advise just to tile over this already installed backer board. What is your thought on this? Would love your advise. Should I remove the backer board, should I prime it and then put the tile on it, or is it maybe possible to add the decoupling mat on top of the backer board, running out of ideas here. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you
@valentinointeriors3023

Hi There is no need to replace the backer board with decoupling membrane. Both of them are ok for tiling. In my house everything is tiled ( floors) over backer boards. I will check if the backer board is also glued down and if it’s not I will do this . Pretty easy as is already cut to size. Just remove the screws , and use a 5mm notched trowel and place the screws back. The subfloor needs to be primed and before the tiles installation I will prime the backer board as is been there for a while and it may be dusty . When you are checking the backer board this should be better 6-12mm. Any thicker then this may not work with small tiles. Any questions down the line please feel free to ask.

What makes you decide to not use the standard silicone flexible membrane backing for hardwood floors in this application? I can’t think of the exact name of what I’m referring to but it’s usually orange silicone type backing that goes on I see sometimes after the thin set which I presume would be used to partially level it out where it is close to that anyway. I guess I’m asking in part why no membrane here or you just prefer that first material you mentioned (insulating board?)?
