Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of renovating my kitchen, which is on the first floor of a house built in 1967. After removing the old vinyl tile, I found a layer of 3/4" plywood followed by a paper barrier and then a plank floor with tongue and groove. I've decided to replace the 3/4" plywood but am unsure about the appropriate grade to use for this application. Additionally, I'd appreciate recommendations on a suitable replacement for the paper barrier.
To provide further context, I'll be installing ceramic tiles on top of the new plywood and barrier. What grade of plywood would be best suited for this, and what modern underlayment or barrier should I consider to ensure a stable and long-lasting tile installation?
Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!
