We are located in North Carolina, USA.
We are converting a Exterior 14 x 18 screen porch into an all weather room and want to Tile the Floor.
The space as a finished ceiling and will have all aluminum windows and glass enclosures and doors.
The present floor is 1x6 decking with a small space between boards.
2x8 Joists exist on 16†centers with cross beams every 4 feet
There is an open crawl space below the floor that is enclosed with lattice.
What should the proper method be to install tiles on top of the existing floor ?
We have not yet decided on the tile type. Do you have any recommendations ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
