![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One thing I did before screwing down rockboard was screw 2" deck screws into my joists every 6 inches. My joists were 16" on center so I was good for spacing. I liked that idea so I decided to just use 1/4 cement board and screw it down right over top of the particle board and then just tile over top. Finally I met up with a 35 year tiler who told me he use to just screw down cementboard right over top of particleboard without putting down thinset between the particleboard and the cementboard. He mentioned he would use a subfloor sealer on the particleboard so the thinset would properly adhere to the particle board. One tiler came in to do a home estimate after my little incident and said he was going to tile right over the particleboard. One was to screw down 3/8 plywood overtop and tile onto the plywood. I really wanted to tile and looked for ways around how to tile over particleboard. Tearing up my particle board meant tearing up the entire subfloor. I really wanted to tile my mainfloor but soon learned that this wasn't an ideal situation. when I ripped all the lino up, I realized that the particleboard was glued to the 3/4" subfloor. I had a dishwasher that leaked when I had linoleum flooring throughout my mainfloor, which caused the lino in that area to lift off the particleboard. I agree with what everyone said in regards to putting tile over particleboard. ![]()
