How to lay ceramic tile on plywood.

No matter how firm the subfloor. Laying tile over a plywood subfloor can be tricky but if you prepare the sub floor properly your tile floor will last for a lifetime. The plywood will expand and contract at a different rate as the tile causing cracks to develop in the grout lines or tiles over time. While you can lay tile directly over a concrete slab using thin set adhesive don t make the mistake of applying tile directly to a plywood subfloor.

Space the field and edge fasteners correctly the top layer of plywood should be screwed down every 8 inches on the edge and every 6 inches in the field or interior section. The number of tiles you will need will depend on the size of the tile you wish to lay as well as the tile pattern you will like on the floor.
