I am looking at putting timber flooring in the house. We have tiles at the moment and don't want the hassle or mess of tearing them up.
One bamboo flooring supplier is happy to glue the flooring to the tiles and provide a 5 year install warranty, no other timber floor supplier recommends doing this, only installing as a floating floor.
Has anyone glued timber flooring to tiles and how is it?
Cheers

You could also use a self leveling compound like Lanko 133 Pro Level to do the same job.

Personally I would remove the tiles and start fresh.

We looked into getting our downstairs done and some timber floor guys recommend putting a modern visqueen plastic type barrier down first to stop any damp forming on cold underfloor warping the timber followed by battens and the wood floor screwed to battens to allow natural flexing.
Timber would be the man to ask, we're not allowed to mention his site on here as some people fear the competition and there's an automatic delete/blocker if we post the link. If you put British Expats in Google then about 8 or so down look for a site that sounds like it's made for black rappers you should be sorted.
