I have a baement flat with solid concrete floors throughout. I want to tile the living room (27m2), with insulation under. All the specs I've seen describe laying a floating floor on top of insulation, which I assume is only suitable for wooden floor coverings, not tiles? I assume I need insualtion, folowed by vapour barrier, followed by .....? If possible, I want to avoid having to lay another screed as headroom is already quite low and don't want to lose too much more. Any suggestions?
