Tiling DIY - removing old flooring and preparation?

He has been quoted over $ 2500 for labor only to install tiles in our house. This does not include taking the floor, I think we can do it ourselves ... we Ceramic entry which I believe has the base coat and then durarock vinyl in the kitchen with a kind of base layer. The above quotation durarock quell my husband does not know very well what we must do this in the sub-soil. Does the sub-soil need to be very soft before durarock can download? Is it that hard to install? We tiles directly on a concrete floor in a small room in the basement, I am sure be more difficult, but I wonder if that kind of money should be treated? What about heating systems of tiles, these are difficult or expensive to install? Apparently, getting power to them would be difficult. Any suggestions?

First, you definitely need to break some kind of base layer, such as durarock under a tile floor. Otherwise, your floor is almost always too flexible, eventually cracking the grout and loosening of the tiles. The only exception is on a concrete floor, since it is already very stiff. It is not difficult to install. Most people recommended by 90 degrees to the direction of his basement and some do not just screw, but I think you should put a thin layer of thinset down under force his durarock and sub-floor and then screw down. The sub-soil need not be perfectly flat, but want it to be very close to that after quell the Board of sanding. If you need to level the soil, there are leveling compounds that are designed to help. Installing the Board sponsor is not difficult. It's just a lot of work. Usually comes in 3x5 'sheets, but is a bit heavy. You can mark and snap like a sheet or drywall or can cut with a saw with a blade designed for cutting cement type products. Just keep in mind that makes a big mess if you cut with a saw and you should probably use a dust mask. I even made thinner slices with a tile saw. As for the thread down you need a good exercise and you want to use screws designed dash of sand. You should see somewhere near where the Board of sanding. It also requires a lot of screws. Some products are marked where to put the screws, but I think the normal method is every 8 "along the edge and every 10-12 inside each leaf. I've never tried a system under underfloor heating, but a book of tiles that had shows you how. Basically, like a matte rubber with embedded heating cables everywhere. It seemed that just contemplated that a bed of thinset between Backer board and tiles. If I remember correctly was only one electrical connection and runs under voltage. I guess it was just somewhere near a source, the electric tie and then pull the cable to some type of control mounted on the or wall thermostat. Besides, I think he would want in a GFI circuit just to be sure. It seemed impossible, but there was more work and expense than I wanted to go. Finally, there are a number of websites and discussion forums good about tile. Here is a link to one I've found very useful. Http: / / www.johnbridge.com / vbulletin / index.php?
