My wife and I are in the process of removing the carpet from the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. I need a little help.
First the floor is osb board. In the bathrooms we plan to do ceramic tile. Would 1/4" hardybacker support the tile ok? In the bedrooms, we are thinking of using vinyl tiles. I would assume that they would not stick to the osb floor, so what should I put down over the osb floor?
Thanks in advance!

I was told you had to put some sort of sealer on the 1/4" luan board. I did 1'X1'vinyl squares in a laundry room and used something that was white and painted on. I think it allowed the squares to adhere better. I was told to nail the luan board down using roofing nails about every 6 inches. I think I had a few show through.
What do the experts suggest for that???
Before you put your tile down, I have seen some heating tape for under tile. You figure the square footahe to be done and buy that much tape. Install a thermostat for it and you never have to mess with it. Has anyone had any experience with this tape?? I have been to houses with in floor radiant heat and it is great for the tiles.
Good luck,
