Hi,
We are building a new construction 2 story home over an existing walkout basement.
The main level subfloor joists are older 2x10 solid lumber @ 16"oc with new 3/4 T&G OSB cover. The span is 14ft each side of the supported centerline. On this floor we want to put ceramic tile in the kitchen area. Do we put the tile directly over the OSB subfloor? The floor is very noisy to walk on, should we be adding some kind of noise dampening? Will Ceramic tile crack with floor movement? Any considerations we need to be aware of?
I should mention the house will be heated with hydronic radiant flooring. Any concerns there ?
The upper floor uses Solidstart 20 Plus engineered LPI's 16"oc with a depth of 11-7/8" . The cover on that is 1/2" osb that will have 3/4" pine T&G over it. There will be a master bathroom that I want to put ceramic tile down. Should that area get 3/4" plywood or OSB on it before adding tile?
Noise level from foot traffic is a concern also. What do you recommend to deaden sound between floors?
