You need to set up cement board on the floor in front of the clay and ceramics. If you're not going to two things: to do the cracks of the parquet floor and ruin of his paintings.
Do not listen to those who tell you that you do not need underlamint Cement Board or a good substitute, before ceramic tile. You screw the cement board directly on the ceiling beams of the hypothesis that the soil is firm and in good condition
I had my kitchen floor last ten years because the people who owned the house before laying the tiles on the floors. I was on the ground floor and roof beams were replaced lazy, because a lot of moisture.
If you do not know how to Lowes, they have classes to build the whole time about how to flats.
If you only have half a brain, you do not need a contractor.
They should form the floors of stairs with 1 / 8 layer board
Use of small pins on the original soil fix [the entire floor aunts is guaranteed on the cover] Uni-Bond-layer board [PVA glue mixed with water obtained with a brush or roller, dry]
Place your tiles with a flexible tile adhesive, which secures the word flex
Grout tile joints as usual
Good luck
Hello, I'm Nick the Tile Man
You need to use cement board (Hardi-sponsor), which can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot. They come as small as 3 "x 5". Who are lighter than Durock or Wonder Board and durable. Must be mounted with screws Bold sponsor. Then you can install tile over it. Pleaswe check out my website under the establishment of the panel.
Structural engineers would be able to give you a better idea of what is needed to fix the floor before the roof prepared.
