Sub Floor: Northern VA Tile Installers believes construction should consist of a double layered, 1-1/8' thick, exterior grade plywood installed over floor joists spaced a maximum of 16' on center. Face grains of first plywood layer should be installed perpendicular to joists for maximum stiffness and staggered with an 1/8' wide gap between each sheet. Install plywood panel edges 1/4' away from restraining surfaces, including perimeter walls, cabinetry, and door jambs. These are expansion gaps and should not be bridged with setting material. In addition, sub floor deflection should not exceed L/360 of span.
To prevent moisture damage: Tile Installers recommend that a waterproofing membrane be installed over the plywood substrate per the manufacturer's instructions over all plywood surfaces to be tiled.
Installing ceramic Tile: Northern Virginia Tile Installers will use a thin set mortar that is latex modified and approved for use over plywood substrates."
