Tile floor and deck floor

6 years ago

Can you please tell me about that tile flooring? Is it laid over the decking and how does it transition to the outside? Thanks.

The tile is laid on top of 3/4" treated plywood on a treated floor system, so the transition to the 1" decking on the other side of the door is rather smooth and level. We didn't use it on this project, and there hasn't been any issues, but there is a dimpled membrane which if laid on top of the treated plywood will separate any wood movement from the mortar and tile...which is not a bad idea. We have used it on subsequent projects.
