Hi All,
I have done some searches but was hoping for a direct answer to this query. Hopefully it doesn't repeat what has already been posted.
I am looking to install tiles but am concerned about tiles causing excess noise, affecting people downstairs. When I asked the tiler would do the installation, he responded that because my floor is concrete, it won't be an issue. As I understand it, he is simply going to glue the tiles directly to the concrete floor.
I know him through a friend who vouches for him who tells me that he has installed tiles on many apartments and multistories houses. I trust my friend, but doing more searches and reading about people talking about cork underlays etc makes me a paranoid.
Any thoughts?
