Best adhesive for tiling on plywood

Question

Is a flexible cement adhesive best for tiling on plywood?

Paul · Answer

Best one is two part flexible adhesive and prim woo as well

Garry · Answer

Ply is not great to tile on but if you are make sure the adhesive is flexible and has a high fibre content I use a brand called proflex also make sure you prime or at least PVA the ply first

Christopher · Answer

Yes it gives it the best flex when you put your tiles on

Alan · Answer

Yeah, put down a sealant first. If it’s for kitchen or bathroom then use a waterproof, and flexible adhesive

Gary · Answer

hi the adhesive you would need would be a s1 flexible mixed adhesive  if the work is in a wet area i would recommend you use a more suitable  back ground ie cement board or wedi board hope this helps regards gary

Matthew · Answer

Hi Jackie. It's not recommended to tile directly onto plywood. There are backerboard systems and matting systems that are used now to tile onto plywood

Paul · Answer

as long as there  is minimal  deflection/movement then a decent flexible adhesive will do the job...prime the surface first. topps tiles sell everything you will require and also be able to offer advice on which products.

Ben · Answer

Is better to use ditra matt membrane first,  if you don't you can use Mapei Keraquick S1 mixed with Mapei Latex Plus.

Richard · Answer

To tile directly unto plywood is not recommended. A decoupling membrane is advised to limit any movement from subfloor and will bond better with tile.

John · Answer

As long as they plywood is fixed correctly then I’d suggest using a two part flexible adhesive which comes with a bonding compound to mix in with your adhesive to help bond to floor
